AMD sees margins, market share growing

Advanced Micro Devices, buoyed by demand for its latest chips, said Tuesday that it expects growth for chips that power corporate servers and laptops to help the No. 2 microprocessor company to grow at twice the industry average for semiconductors.

AMD said it plans to capture 20 percent of the server-chip market by the end of 2006.

Cray to use AMD processors for supercomputers
Cray announced that it will continue to use AMD's Opteron processors for supercomputers through the end of this decade.

Additionally, AMD will work with the company on a proposal for phase 3 of the federal government's DARPA HPCS (High Productivity Computing Systems) program. The program plans to provide economically viable, next-generation high productivity computing systems for the national security, scientific and industrial user communities that are able to run applications at sustained speeds of one petaflop or more by the end of the decade, the firms said.

I assume its a standard junk school issue computer.

Regarding the news, not suprising, but look for that growth to slow in 2006.
