Intel Xeon 5570: Smashing SAP records.

It was power/watt. And if you go back then CPU's wasn't that fast compared to CPU's today (the new opteron is of course faster compared to the old one).

Gosh, I know you have no clue about servers but that's ok.

Everyone can now pick up dual socket Xeons to replace their quad socket Opterons and have same/better performance while using less than half the power.

There has been some discussions on the internet that Intel did focus very much on servers with the i7 (performance), that was AMD's strong area where Intel was behind. With the i7 Intel may have been focused to much on server performance?

I don't get it, i7 920 @ 2.66GHz is on par with a QX9650 @ 3GHz, how is that focusing too much on server performance? Seeing all the reviews for Deneb, it will still be slower than the current Core 2 Quads. So what's your argument then? AMD focused too much on server performance beginning?
