Tech Perspective: Will Intel still rule?
LockedIntel continues to dominate the server market for machines with x86 processors. But according to Gartner’s predictions, you can expect an increasing presence of non-Intel technology in the traditional Intel-based server market. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Transmeta have the potential to give Intel competition in the areas of high-density servers, server appliances, and 64-bit computing.
What percentage of your servers use x86 processors versus other types of processors? What has been your experience with Intel’s products? How will AMD- and Transmeta-based servers affect your buying decisions? What are your current impressions of AMD and Transmeta processors?
