I would consider Dresden as undisputed AMD territory.

Actually, I believe memory management is an application where Itanium could very well be the cpu of choice from a pure technical viewpoint - as every performance demanding application without codebase considerations.

In essence, any eventual political consideration for the processor choice made for the Cluster around Altix shared memory architecture would be almost certainly in favour of AMD imo. ;-)

Nevertheless, the public perception will likely be as I pointed out in the former post. For good. :-)
