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.
After a couple of weeks of smarting and licking its wounds after a vicious assault from Intel which recently released its new Xeon 5100 server processors, AMD has bounced back with the announcement of its new generation dual-core Opteron range, the Rev F.
The big feature being touted by the new Rev F Opetron chips is support
for virtualization, which matches what Intel has already has in its new
Xeon chips. Virtualization, which allows multiple operating systems to
run simultaneously within virtual machines, has become the latest
efficiency boosting strategy to make full use of under utilized servers.
The new AMD Opteron chips are expected to be included in server systems
from Sun, HP, IBM and Dell and are an important part of AMD's strategy
to shore up its hard won 20% plus market share and push on to its 30%
goal by 2008.
The server space, in which AMD has an estimated 26% market share, is
counter balanced by the company's weakness in the consumer desktop
area, where AMD's share languishes in the single digits.
The next battle field will be in the quad-core processor space and
Intel is keen to halt AMD's advance with plans to rush a quasi
quad-core package of two Xeon dual-core processors to the market by the
end of 2006. AMD plans to release a true quad-core processor, with four
cores on a single die by mid-2007.
