AMD will launch its server version of dual core microprocessors on April 21st in NYC. HP. IBM, and Sun are expected on stage to announce new server products based on these first-for-AMD chips.
Note that last Monday Intel allowed tech sites to publish performance data on the forthcoming dual-core Pentium Extended Edition microprocessors. We blogged this story.
The key differentiation between AMD and Intel is simple: AMD's dual core efforts are in the server space, where the company is trying like crazy to get to double-digit market share versus Intel's Xeon; Intel will this quarter launch two versions of dual-cores for consumer and business desktops. Both companies will follow on next year with their respective desktop, server and mobile dual cores.
