If you want to know what's the 64-bit situation in Australia then there is no better read than ComputerWorld analysis: "McIsaac said Intel's adoption of 64-bit extensions, “is an interesting and bold move by AMD and it’s the first time I’ve seen Intel follow someone else’s lead”. “The 64-bit extensions won’t be a barrier and will make sure Intel chips can grow in the data centre,” he said. McIsaac, although seeing a “very slow” Itanium uptake, believes HP’s decision to migrate to commodity processors for its systems is a good one. " .

Inquirer's Mario Rodrigues has done some great research about Tyan willingness to grab a giant chunk of Opteron server market with a top notch lineup of single, twin and quad motherboards which shows a clear advantage over anything Intel has to offer: "As an example of the savings that can be realized, when four 2.8 GHz Xeon MPs cost $14,768, IT decision makers won't be able to ignore the $6,056 price tag that AMD now asks for four of its 848 Opteron offerings - that's a $8,712 saving".

If they were to keep the processor at 1.525v all of the time it would take way better cooling than any OEM would ever put in their systems. We all heard enough about Intel's struggles to go to the 90nm process and the delay the prescott and other products saw because of this. I don't believe they really fixed the issues they were having. I believe they used a bandaid and shipped it out anyway! ".

EM64T sounds a lot like RU-486 or some other bitter pill. And the 64-bit extension versions of Xeon have been hard for Intel to swallow after rival AMD beat Chipzilla to market with the technology.".

This long document gives all the financial numbers and lots of interesting details about the company: "Computation Products net sales of $1,960 million in 2003 increased 12 percent compared to net sales of $1,756 million in 2002. The increase in net sales was primarily due to a 15 percent increase in microprocessor unit shipments due primarily to increased demand from our OEM customers, partially offset by a decline of four percent in the average selling prices of our microprocessor products. Unit shipment growth was particularly strong in Latin America and China, which accounted for 77 percent of overall unit growth".
