Let's put it this way, making a 64 bits server/supercomputer chip is taking many years, so far we have heart nothing from AMD they want to make one, so logically seen it would take at least another 6 to 7 years to build one for AMD. Intel is going to dominate 64 bits market completely now that they have taken over Alpha, though this market is of 0% value for computerchess, because those computers are in price ranges from like $20000 a machine to many millions of dollars for the bigger servers. Chance AMD is going to compete there is the same chance that Coca Cola is going to build a starship enterprise that is travelling to mars. The 64 bits server/supercomputer market is completely different from a fast PC processor. That those fast PCs kick that butt of the P4 pc processor completely (especially price range), as well from the servers from alpha and especially from SUN and all other cpu brands when running 32 bits (computerchess) software, that's very nice of course, otherwise intel would be the new world order ruling the world soon, like M$ does in the software world now and even could release its XP plans, which for any other market where there is competition would mean signing your own death sentence. >On September 01, 2001 at 02:28:02, Terry McCracken wrote: > >>On September 01, 2001 at 01:32:08, Sandro Necchi wrote: >> >>>On August 31, 2001 at 22:38:50, leonid wrote: >>> >>>>On August 31, 2001 at 20:58:17, Jorge Pichard wrote: >>>> >>>>>http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,59825,00.asp >>>>> >>>>>Pichard. >>> >>>Hi Leonid, >>>> >>>>Thanks for putting this link!
