Sun To Build Opteron Servers

Posted by timothy on from the getting-in-on-the-new-deal dept.

geekee writes "According to an article at CNET, Sun is planning on creating Opteron-based servers. These are expected to include 2-processor and 4-processor models running either Solaris or Linux. This move isn't surprising, given the performance and cost gaps between the Opteron and UltraSPARC processors. A move to Opteron would allow them to be more competitve in cost and focus more on what they're good at, designing systems, not processors."

  1. NIZZLES and the GNAA by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    A nizzle is a cross between a nozzle and a nipple ie. a cock sticking out of a tit. All black have at least 1 cock. The GNAA link should be obvious enough.
