Yup. I went to the Microprocessor Forum where they introduced 'Sledgehammer' (the AMD 64 architecture) and came back to NetApp where I was working and started working out how we'd build our next Filer using it. (that was a journey given the AMD distrust inside of NetApp!). I had a pretty frank discussion with the Intel SVP of product who was pretty bought into the Intel "high end is IA, Mid/PC is IA32, embedded is the 8051 stuff". They were having a hard time with getting Itainum wins.
