With the rising costs of oil, the issue of energy efficiency has never been more important.

More compute engines per square foot is what you're after here. Multi-core is going to provide that capability. We see nothing but upside opportunity for the blade market with a nicely designed multi-core capability.

We are giving our competitor a fair and open opportunity to challenge our clear market leadership in a public setting.

We think there is an opportunity, if done correctly, for a total change in the enterprise IT implementations here and we're going to be one of the main drivers for that because of our superior architecture, ... We believe there is an opportunity for AMD64 architecture to be the de facto architecture for blades.

At the core of these plans is 64 bit. We showed the world you didn't need a different architecture for 64 bit.

Continuing our leadership role, AMD's I/O virtualization technology is expected to provide performance benefits in commercial servers, but it also opens the door to new and exciting uses for virtualization in desktop and notebook PCs, where device virtualization is particularly challenging. We have embraced the industry's ecosystem, and are very pleased to continue our collaborative approach to the development of AMD's virtualization technology by sharing this specification publicly and making it available through licenses across the hardware and software development community.

This campaign is all about raising awareness on a critical issue. This is not a game, this is real.

If you can deliver next-generation performance in the same thermal envelope, then you've got an incredible performance-per-watt, which is what blades are all about, ... Hopefully, you can, with multi-core, improve the density inside the typical IT infrastructure.
