AMD up, Intel down in supercomputers
Latest Top500 list to be announced on November 14th, finds the following:
AMD dual core Opteron chips were used in 113 supercomputers or 22 percent ! of those on the latest list, up from just 11 percent a year ago.
Intel CPUs took their biggest decline ever, slumping from a high of use in 333 systems or a year ago to 261 or 52 percent of systems on the current list.
And the trend would probably extend further.
Of course, Intel hopes not. But, AMD has its plans too.
Especially with Dell.
