If the procurement concept is guided, if we call 2004 "64 years", it is afraid that it is not too much. Intel's first 64-bit processor, And Teng's market baptism proves that there is not enough application conditions, users are determined to put existing systems into a new platform, even if all applications of Anteng platform will find A series of reasons tell users how much cost-effective costs for them, and what is the advantage of the system's overall architecture, 64-bit computing is how much enjoyment for users, users are no longer like It is blindly investing in a few years ago, and it is rapidly. Today's users have known how to use rational consumption to guide their procurement, especially in all areas, almost all have a long time and fairly high-end experience in this field. "Purchasing personnel, want to persuade them under the determination to replace the system unless the manufacturer and the end user have enough grasp, otherwise, the results can only be regarded as the Angar server, will not be received attention to too many users. Time enters to 2004 seems to change. The first is a sharp rise in the AMD OPTERN processor on the market share, and many server manufacturers have introduced AMD OPTERN-based products. It seems to be addressed between 32-bit compatible problems overnight. Users can enjoy 64-bit computing and application 32 programs, almost everything can be smooth. A total of 64-bit applications has become the mouthpiece of the server manufacturer. SUN, which is a conservative Sun in the system design, is also a Breakfast and AMD reached an agreement and published Optern-based servers at the beginning of 2004, and the ambitious representation of this server is to compete for other manufacturers' IA server markets. This "ambition" not only shows Sun's confidence in its own products, but more importantly, Sun sees the compatible 64-bit server has the ability to replace the original 32-bit server market; at the same time, Intel's follower HP seems to be put. Join the scene of AMD camp. In the Angar processor market, HP also announced Optern-based servers. Intel as a leader in the chip market, AMD is the strength and Intel can't be the same day. However, in the competition of 32 bits and 64-bit compatible markets, AMD finally has the opportunity to be running. In fact, AMD's leading position is ultimately derived from user needs. From the current market situation, users have indeed increased the demand for 64-bit computing, but the problem is that it is not acceptable to users a 64-bit "perfect system" user can be accepted? Obviously, the result is negative. The income of Intel's initial mistake is that he underestimates or ignores the user's autonomous judgment. It seems that the habit of "conservative investment" is still difficult to change. What is the situation in the traditional 64-bit market in the traditional sense of RISC and Anteng? Intel held a server technology seminar on August 3. It will attend Intel's representatives, and try to indicate that 64 to strong issues do not mean Intel will give up the development of Angang 2. On the contrary, Andron 2 will apply high-end applications such as high-performance computing will be the replacement of RISC; the representatives of Intel at the Conference of a vendor to strong products have also emphasized that the so-called sunshable 64-bit and Anteng 2 Products are definitely a completely different system. Strong products are more suitable for low-end applications. Also on August 3, IBM held UNIX Server P5 new product conference, and the representative of IBM demonstrated the new features and powerful processing capabilities of the Power5 processor to users. Then, on August 12 IBM, IBM held a UNIX conference with P5 as a core again. The IBM Power5 processor chief designer Dr Joel Tendler once again explained the unique function and leading technology of Power5 in an all-round manner. The original company originally an agent of a brand server, the original participation in the new technological release meeting, but there is no such thing as the contents of the IBM's conference so that the reporter has such a strong interest in new technologies. When I thought alone, I was very worried about Intel Antenng 2.
