This actually shows who really has the better product and can ship in volumes! Cray acknowledges the topdog!

AMD processors were only used to handle I/O anyways...

That is sad for AMD.

AMD has a better products for making super computers compared to Intel. Sure Intel has QuickPath (formly known as CSI), but it is not open as HyperTransport. Also AMD is a perfectionist compared to Intel. AMD provides quality while Intel provides quantity.

I think Stream and CUDA are better contenders for high performance computing compared to CPU. Both the Stream and CUDA based processors has very, very high performance in a small and very efficient space. Cray should look into this different way of computing.
