They dropped the ball with itanic.

The warning signs have been staring intel in the proverbial face for many years, and very obviously over the past couple of years. Their attitude towards AMD that their overconfidence in their own flawed designs is coming round to bite them on their a$$es now.

As for itanic, where do I even start? It was a beautiful concept but woefully executed from the start. Even today their promise of performance, software availability, scalability, and most importantly availability is so close to vaporware. I still can't fathom why HP would choose to sink in a few billion$ more into this white elephant.

I work closely with the banking industry and we deal with large servers and server farms. We also deal with small to mid sized data warehousing and number crunching organizations. I have seen exactly ZERO of them running Itanic systems.

On the flip side, this may cause Intel to lower their chip prices, giving AMD a run for their money, and good choice for customers.
