			<description><![CDATA[I really wish you could make longer posts here. The big bottleneck in virtualization is no longer core count. The big bottleneck is memory. A two socket Xeon 6500/7500 box can support as much memory as a quad socket Opteron 6100 box. You can do 512GB (or more with proprietary solutions) for a lower power footprint and with better RAS. AMD needs to support at least 512GB at 2S and at least 1TB at 4S with Bulldozer.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[AMD is way, way behind in GPGPU. They don't have the chips, they don't have the software. They've been skipping from one undeveloped software stack to the next, from Brook+ to CTM to OpenCL. All the while nVidia has improved CUDA and made it the de facto standard. People always assume that an open technology will win, anyone that knows computing history knows that isn't always so. CUDA has the market and mind share now and is as we speak the better product. The only thing OpenCL has going for it is Apple's support. Not to mention...nVidia's GPUs are a much better fit for HPC than are AMDs.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yeah, Fermi, which is now being shipped in compute nodes from HP, IBM and a half dozen others. Cray is coming on board. There are a bunch of big installations on the way with god knows how many small ones. Yeah, Fermi was a blunder. No doubt nVidia had trouble birthing the thing, but it's already paying dividends. It's only going to grow as their GPUs become more flexible and powerful. It's only going to grow as the CUDA environment matures. A blunder that allows nVidia to sell a lot more high-end chips at vastly higher margins. They'll never recover.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In the server and supercomputing markets, its about total throughput. In that case, more cores is favoured over higher speeds in the same thermal footprint. Next? Next is GPGPU. AMD is heading in the direction where they will blend streaming cores of their GPUs into the processor core itself. So there won't be distinct GPU or x86 core segments like we'll see in upcoming APUs; it'll be a hybrid of x86/GPU elements in a uniform core. Bulldozer's block design diagrams already gives you a hint of that direction. This is why DirectCompute and OpenCL will become very important in the future.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Huh, I guess I'm not geeky enough to need more then two. I use my laptop for web surfing and multimedia. I mostly get excited about the power savings of the new chips. Longer laptop battery life and lower energy bill for my HTPC. My current HTPC costs somewhere over $100 a year in electricity. I can't wait for zacate.]]></description>
