A lot of communications groups likely to go. Even talk of Viiv getting canned. And of course they're not sure what to do with Itanium.

There will be no more single-core Opterons available anymore after the switchover to Socket F (1207-pin LGA). There will be massive price cuts on Pentium 4-based products prior to Conroe introduction, such as the Pentium D. One story had a low-end version of Pentium D for as low as...
