It has been reported that a very senior official from one of [b]Intel[/b]’s major chipset customers, has confirmed that everything is roadmapped for the chip giant to, somewhat predictably, follow [b]AMD[/b]’s lead and introduce desktop, workstation and server processors that not only feature support for the [i]iAMD[/i] instruction set but with [i]AMD64[/i] style integrated memory controllers.
[blockquote]Aside from the significant revenue they receive for this, it also opened the potential for Intel to exercise control over all the third party Taiwanese mainboard manufacturers and other partners and customers. This market dominating position has been a key factor in Intel’s success.[/blockquote]
