With Intel's rushed launch of a faulty dual-core strategy, everyone seems confused about what is going on over there! Sounds like AMD64 and nForce 3/4 chipsets are now the safe bet for high performace Linux computing. :)
Problems for Intel
1) The new dual-cores are not 64bit, but are aimed at games that don't exist yet !! If a game developer was going to recode, wouldn't they do it for AMD-64 / EM64T?
2) The renamed server xeons, that use AMD-64 spec, are confusing as hell to refer to as Pentium 4 extreme + EM64T. Is there still an issue about a faulty emulation mode?
3) I am using AMD, for the first time in years, and appreciate Advanced Microdevice's clear and open strategy on AMD64 and dual core. This seems like the safer bet for both Linux and Windows.
Out of desperation, Intel has opened up their chipsets to Nvidia, but nForce 3 and 4 for AMD seems like the safe bet for both Linux and Windows 64. Will the wintel du(al)opoly crack if these lackluster Dell 5th generation machines fail in the marketplace. (The fit and finish on them is terrible, BTW!)
