Sun Likely to Use Opteron
Posted by: HEMI on: 04/09/2003 08:06 AM [ Print | 4 comment(s) ]
From an article over at C|net, Sun Microsystems seems to be favoring AMD's Opteron CPU over Intel's Itanium 2 CPUs to be the next logical step in Sun's LX50 servers.
"Can we commit to using Opteron today? No," Loiacono said. "Can we use it? Are we likely to use it? Yes."Considering AMD's rather dismal history of getting tier-one vendors to use AMD CPUs Sun's consideration has got to be music to AMD's ears.

Maybe it's release will coincide with getting Solaris 9 for X86 out the door into production.

I thought that was only for a beta or "Release Canidate" version, but apparently now its for the real deal. Oh well there goes $20. Thanks!
