not really, becaus i know that intels out dated platform sold alot of chips in name recognition alone not on the power they have compared to amd.
as to athlon MP, they are just a renamed athlonXP, and amd didnt push them as a server platform, they knew at the time that they had no hope against intel in the server market because they where an unknown name in comparison.
and intels been making ia64 for how many years? and sales of opterons in the first day they where made was far higher then in all the years the ia64 chips had been avalable?
if there was the demand intel would make the chips, but dispite your assertion that the ia64 is a better chip/design they aren selling even close to the number of ia64 chips that amd is selling opterons, not even the fact that its an intel chip is giving them the advantage they want.
alot is due to the fact that the intanium gave such a poor showing when it first came out.
as to super computers, well most of them run on costom os's with costom software not windows or any other off the shelf os, so its kinda silly to say that the reasion opterons ahead is due to it having more software readly avalable, that software would need to be desiigned to run on a massive number of prossors on costom hardware(red storms not off the shelf parts u know)
and sorry i didnt just mean the sparc thing for you and yes i missed the Niagara part, i think of it as the t1, probbly because thats what its name was in the documents about sparc i read.
