Oracle kills AMD on Sun Servers

	Quote: Rumours of a night of the long knives Rumours are starting to fly that Oracle is about to announce that it has purged AMD Opteron's from the outfit's Sun servers. According to Information Week, no one is saying anything official, but it has received an e-mail from an Oracle customer, which seems to provide corroboration that AMD is done for on Sun. The email said that all non-Netra AMD blades have been end of lifed and no new AMD blades have been announced or mentioned at Oracle World.

If this is true then :shock:

It's not a big deal if they are just cutting AMD, you can still get your x86 fix using Intel kit. The problem is if Ellison pulls x86 boxes altogether, that didn't do Sun any favours in the late 90's and won't help Oracle now...
