Subject: AMD SMP Crafty: Hammer or Opteron?

Author: Robert Henry Durrett

An AMD website noted that Opteron is intended for servers.  But the servers are
the only computers with significant multiprocessing.  Also, the operating
systems designed for multiprocessor servers might be the only operating systems
designed for this application.  Finally, compilers for creation of programs to
run on server operating systems should be capable of compiling an AMD SMP
Crafty.  These considerations and others seem to indicate that Opteron would be
the only real choice.  Hammers would be unable "to drive in the nail."  [Pardon
the pun.]

Am I missing anything?
