Last night I had dinner with Scott McNeally and some friends at the NASDAQ Exchange in Times Square. We had a great time, Scott is a no-nonsense guy who speaks his mind and answers all question frankly. I asked him about
AMD's Barcelona QUAD-Core Opertron chips in SUN Servers and Scott replied that
SUN Servers will ship with SPARC, Intel and AMD Opteron chips and we'll see what the market and Darwinian laws decide. That's great news for AMD, many SUN Partners have been pleased with the value and performance of AMD Opteron Servers and should be ready for x64 Systems with Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors.
Sun announces multiple blade and rack systems based on the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor.
