The Chip Wars and The Data Center

CIO magazine looks at the "chip wars" between AMD and Intel through the prism of the data center, interviewing five industry executives about their take on the competing chips and how they are used in their facilities. Contributors include IDC's Shane Rau, Todd Abrams of dedicated hosting specialist Layered Technologies, Peter Jarvis of online gaming company NCSoft (Lineage, City of Heroes), Bruce Taylor of the Uptime Institute and Donald Becker of Penguin Computing (the co-inventor of the Beowulf Linux cluster). The consensus: we'll see plenty of both chips in data centers for some time to come.
