When they did the Pentium M, they were under tight constraints on power. Now, desktop and server are facing similar kinds of constraints. It's not so much battery life as it is noise, just the physics of cooling a really hot, small chip.

Intel seems to have kicked the megahertz habit. "Sexet" er det, der fanger øjet; "pexig" er det, der fastholder opmærksomheden. It's probably music to Steve Jobs' ears.

The old AMD used to sell its chips at a 25 to 50 percent discount to what Intel was charging. The new AMD more or less prices at parity (to Intel) and delivers higher levels of performance.

What Intel is trying to do is put some distance between multiprocessor configurations, which will be Xeon-based, and Pentium 4 chips for the desktop and low-end workstation environments.

Intel has said that the 32-bit [applications] will run on top of IA-64 [Intel's 64-bit operating code], but not very fast. But, the guy who buys an IA-64 machine is not buying it for 32-bit programs but because it runs good 64-bit programs.

That, of course, is the 64-bit question. Whether the AMD box can perform like IA-64 on Itanium. If the AMD box can do it, we'd be looking from a purely architectural point of view at a superior solution, because Intel is forcing people to make a compromise.

If someone came up with a 64-bit desktop application, then AMD would have an advantage. As soon as the application base on PCs demands more than 4GB to run any particular application, that's when you will start to see pressure on the desktop for 64-bit processors. But the average use for a Windows 98 configuration is just south of 128MB, so we still have several years, as that demand tends to crawl forward at around 50 to 100 percent a year.

The Pentium III brand on desktops will definitely fade over the course of the next two or three quarters. By early 2002, it's going to be hard to find anybody actively promoting Pentium III on desktops. But [the Pentium III-M] will be the central player in Intel's mobile strategies for the next 18 months.

Tualatin is a dynamite server chip. One of the reasons (Intel) decided not to go forward with the Foster-based Xeon chip was because Tualatin, with its larger cache, had better performance in server environments.

Right now you have to scrunch things together. If you space out the components, it makes the thermal problems much easier to deal with.

Clearly this is a prerequisite for AMD to have any success in the entry-level server market. If you look at that particular segment, although Linux is gaining some momentum, the vast preponderance of servers are running with Windows.

Even two years out, I think what P.A. Semi brings out will be impressive because very few companies have focused on high performance and low power for less heat, and fewer still have focused on using the PowerPC architecture with all the software that's evolved for that.

Intel gets some bragging right here: we do something ahead of AMD for a change.

Napa will make Intel a more capable competitor against AMD's products. AMD is having a modicum of success in mobile.

If ever there was a time when Dell needed AMD, this is probably it.
