22 Quotes by Kevin Krewell

The performance numbers look good to me, and the power consumption is reasonable -- as opposed to unreasonable with many other servers.

One is as a money scheme and the other is to produce useful technology.

IBM says they can balance both and still get these higher speeds, but there's still lots of details yet to be revealed. It sounds great, but you could have stripped down a whole bunch of functionality to get that higher speed, which wouldn't be so great.

Fundamentally, we think AMD will have the performance advantage through most of this year. But later in the year and into 2007 it will start to get interesting as Intel tries to go head-to-head with AMD again.

If you absolutely, positively need a dual-core Xeon today, they'll sell it to you. But it won't be cheap.

Just increasing clock frequency, which has driven much of the performance increases over the last decade, has become unattractive due to the extra power requirements. Slower clocked dual-core processors can still offer performance increases with multi-threaded applications.

The 1-GHz was a total win for AMD.

Most designs take years. But it was very important for them to get back in the game and have a road map.

You might as well do some good with it.
