IBM announces full AMD Opteron server line

Intel is fighting back with its "Woodcrest" Xeon 5100 family for dual-processor servers, which improve performance while reducing power consumption. But it still has a long way to go: Its forthcoming "Tulsa" Xeon for four-processor machines still is based on the discredited and power-hungry NetBurst architecture.

"I've been very impressed with Woodcrest. Intel has done an amazing job," said Scott Tease, the worldwide product manager for IBM's BladeCenter servers. But, he added, "I can't help thinking that some of that competitive spirit has come back to Intel because of AMD being there."
