Re: Intel Itanium
well, as long as we're chipping away . . . AMD plans new assault on Intel Code-named Hammer, new 64-bit chip to target both PCs and servers SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) — For much of its 33-year history, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. prospered by making cheaper, sometimes faster versions of microprocessors pioneered by Intel Corp. Now AMD is planning its biggest launch ever — and it's no Intel knockoff. The new processors share some of the same elements found in powerful servers but will also target personal computers. It's a big financial and technological gamble for the world's No.2 microprocessor maker. . . . http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1c=Articlecid=1026145813474call_page=TS_Newscall_pageid=968332188492call_pagepath=News/News -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Just about all of their products are named after locations in the Pacific Northwest, mostly Oregon. -- ~ L.
