Abstract:
Opteron, AMD's (Advanced Micro Devices) first 64-bit microprocessor released in 
mid-2003 had received strong performance reviews. Many companies such as Dell 
and IBM, which had been staunch supporters of Intel, had announced plans to use Opteron. 
 
 
As Intel prepared itself for the launch of Itanium 2, Opteron looked 
well placed to face the challenge. Analysts wondered who would emerge winner in 
this battle of David versus Goliath in the 64-bit computing space.
