AMD Hits Milestone in Server Market
DontClickHere writes "According to data from Mercury Research, AMD has finally cracked the 10% mark in x86 instruction set server CPUs. AMD's Chairman had hoped that their server sales would hit 10% at the end of 2004, but they had only reached 5.7%. Some of this gain can be attributed to AMD's introduction of dual core chips in April this year. With Intel only due to ship dual core chips for low end servers later this year, AMD has been handed a golden opportunity to take a larger share in the server market."
Wait till a new /. editor takes the shift and you probably will see it!
Somebody explains to me how a second post, with the first post being just "first post", can be redundant...
It's because the concept of humor is wa-a-a-a-y beyond the grasp of most Slashdot mods. You can check just about any thread and you'll find statements that are at the very least humourous enough to put a smile on your face, not necessarily an all-out laugh, and some humorless mod gave it an overrated, redundant, or off-topic when it should have been given a +1 Funny or at worst left alone unmodded.
Besides, "redundant" doesn't just mean "repetition". It can also mean "unwanted" or "excessive". Apparently, too many Slashdot mods feel that humor is unwanted and excessive in this world. I guess that's an indication of what kind of people they are. They're apparently not very happy people. Life is too short to be like that as far as I'm concerned.
Oh, well. That's enough philosophy on a Friday morning. I'll just sit back now and wait for the "overrated", "offtopic", "troll", and "flamebait" modifications to come rolling in, thus proving my point.
The Overrated mod is for reversing inappropriate, positive mods, not for voicing disagreement with a post.
