Hmm Intel is smart, they pratically own the server segment, no need to mess that up. Its a win win situation for AMD anyways, but unless OEM makers dont buy them, its just gonna be a efficient proccy which failed commercialy. AMD though is having better success in the desktop segment.

desktop segment is nice for hogging the headlines and all that. But the most money is made in the server market. It is in the server market that the biggest profits are made.
