Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Shrugging off a raging price war in the desktop processor space with Intel, chip maker AMD has struck back to jointly announce a deal with IBM for the supply of Opteron chips.
The deal will see IBM use high-end Opteron processors for its new blade and rack-mount server range.
AMD, which claims 20% market share in x86 processors, is currently
locked in a struggle with its larger rival Intel in the desktop space,
where Intel has released a new range dual-core processors that beat
AMD's Athlon on peformance and power consumption. This has forced AMD
to slash desktop processor prices.
However, AMD appears to be going from strength to strength in the
server space, increasing its market share to nearly 26% in the second
quarter.
IBM has been using Opteron chips on a limited basis in its servers
since 2003 and the new announcement greatly expands AMD's penetration
into the company with promises from IBM of more expansion to come. Both
Sun and Hewlett-Packard, which is vying with IBM for server leadership,
are heavy users of Opteron chips in their respective server ranges.
