Chipguy, You know that I think that your argument that Itanium is growing by a factor amazing, and x86 only growing gradually is in fact BS
Well **** you for wasting my time. Don't ask me about IPF
if you don't want to hear my answers. Maybe you think IDC
and Gartner are lying about x86 and IPF sales or their
respective growth rates too? Go stick your head back in
the sand.
more pragmatic way of looking at it is that Itanium is replacing some RISC/MIPS architectures.
That is part of the story but is far from complete. HP's
total HP-UX sales are steady while PA-RISC sales shrink
but HP-UX represents less than half of IPF sales. Do the
math genius.
x86 however does the same. It's sold into very high end taking over previous UNIX accounts, and is sold with non Windows.
Nonsense. The majority of x86 servers sold are 1 and 2
MPU systems and x86 holds less than 10% of all servers
costing more than $10k and less than 5% of all servers
costing more than $25k. Try to rise above your PC myopia.
