AMD two-timed

Intel has busted into Cray, securing a deal with the high performance computing specialist to slot Xeon processors in future systems.

Cray’s latest line of hardware remains centered around AMD’s Opteron processors. But now Intel will join the fold, starting in the 2010ish time frame when Cray releases a new line of hardware dubbed the Cascade computers. This win marks a move by Intel to reach the highest-end of supercomputing systems.
