Here's some Inquirer speculation on what to expect in 2005 for x86
server processors.

AMD:
-should take between 25-30% of the x86 market
-likely won't bother to adopt DDR2 on servers until FB-DIMMs are ready
-possibly going to Socket 1207 by end of the 2005

Intel:
-Might come up with its very first ever non-shared bus starting with the
Blackford processor, which it'll call Dual-Independent Bus architecture
(DIB). It'll be similar in concept to the Alpha EV6 bus that AMD used to
use in the old Athlon MP chips
-it will try to reduce power consumption by 20%

That's Q2/05.

What you didn't find Intel's Dual Independent Bus architecture an
interesting development?
