good news, intel still sells very much xeons thou they aren't worthy compared to opterons. but the more the sockets the less intel

I wonder as the K8 is a RISK chip emulating x86, can't amd make a pure RISC proccessor and try to penetrate the risk server market. It will super have more power going straight than emulating x86
