AMD Opteron chips for their servers by end of the year, so I see no reason why they won't use Athlon chips for their desktops soon.

yep, but they also work with Cray!Â* :mrgreen:Â*


"After an extensive review of marketplace alternatives, we selected the AMD64 platform as the microarchitecture for our next-generation supercomputer products," said Cray President and CEO Peter Ungaro. "In the near-term, the AMD Opteron processor roadmap provides our customers a smooth upgrade path to multi-core systems. Through 2010, AMD's multi-core processor roadmap and HyperTransport(TM) technology capabilities stand out for their ability to help meet our aggressive performance goals. Our success working with AMD in developing the Cray XT3(TM) and the Cray XD1(TM) systems gives us great confidence that AMD is the right partner to help Cray advance the boundaries of high performance computing."
