Verizon Taps AMD's Sea Micro Servers ... these sound like still intel cpus

Looks like it could be either. The benefit of this fabric for AMD is that Verizon can start with Intel CPUs (Xeon or Atom), and upgrade the server nodes later to AMD CPUs(keeps hope alive, I guess...).

The SM15000 delivers 64 sockets of AMD’s octal core Opteron™, Intel® quad core Xeon® (“Ivy Bridge”, “Sandy Bridge”) or 256 sockets of Intel® dual core Intel® Atom™ processors.

It is an absolutely brilliant conclusion by neolib that they may be Intel CPUs. Perhaps it's the fact that they are only shipping Intel CPUs that tipped him off?
