(Does anyone else see this as massively ironic?) AMD sells Intel CPUs

It seems that AMD doesn't have a viable Opteron to use or else still has contracts to uphold, and is being forced to continue using Intel processors in their new products. Ironic, don't you think?

More about : massively ironic amd sells intel cpus
i don't think it's ironic. seamicro has been selling intel based servers as far i know. they won't suddenly stop selling intel servers just because amd recently bought them. to amd's advantage, they can use seamicro to sell their own opteron based servers. i don't think opteron's performance has anything to do with it.

partnerships are not that easy to terminate. there might be high compensation fees involved among other issues.

As it stands, SeaMicro has a tight partnership with Intel, and every SeaMicro server uses Intel chips. According to AMD, SeaMicro will sell Intel-based servers “for the foreseeable future,” but an Opteron-based solution should arrive by the end of the year. partnerships are not that easy to terminate. there might be high compensation fees involved among other issues.
