They would have to screw up really bad for people to go to AMD. I think that may never happen.

  Not disagreeing, but why do you say that?

  People who need to get absolutely the most bang for the buck have no ties to any given supplier. Cray deployed one of the first Opteron-based supercomputers. Intel got lots of datacenter business simply by having a better (as in "better suited to our demands") product than anyone else in the segment. AMD has a short time window to make some large sales. They have until Intel ships a microcode fix or a new line of processors.

    > They have until Intel ships a microcode fix Sounds like microcode fix isn't possible.

      Then the next generation it is. It's a 5-30% performance boost without even a major change. :-(
