Seems you're a tech newbie
"..Imagine that, the all-mighty Intel, FINALLY managing to ... surpass the opteron's after SO MANY YEARS!...."

I suppose 3 years IS a long time. However, AMD once had a GREATER market share than now and BLEW it. The difference now is that AMD changed their business plan from copying Intel to innovating. Ironically, it was with Intel's help!! When Intel renewed the x86 ISA license to AMD, they forebade AMD from copying the P6 bus. What is AMD to do? Innovate, that's what!

"...What took Intell SO LONG???.."

IMHO, AMD has been so pathetic in executing for 30 years, it is reasonable to assume Intel decided to fight other competitors - like Sun (which they beat)

"..Why Intel WAN NOT the performance LEADER ALREADY?.."

I would agree Intel should be the perpetual performance leader given their vast resources, but I think Intel competes in far more areas than AMD. Clearly, intel took their eye off what should be their top priority.

"..Were there independent and relatively objective benchamrks administered?.."

I think we're past that. Intel has a great design in the hands. You can root for AMD, but you need to come to the harsh reality that Intel has a winning hand.

"..What about the NEXT AMD opterons with DDR2 and HT v3.00, etc.?.."

What about them? DDR2 will yield nothing other than improved power consumption. HT3 is another gimmick - it solves nothing at this time that needs improving.

"..Also, what about the poor itanium-2 ? Comletely canned?.."

Where did you hear that?
