Intel and Dell this week showed off servers using the chipmaker's forthcoming high-end "Tulsa" Xeon, a chip that Intel has begun shipping but not formally announced.
Although Intel beat AMD to the desktop dual-core market last Monday in the US, AMD has one-upped its rival and released dual-core CPUs for the server.
Big Blue will soon offer more energy-efficient dual-processor servers using new AMD and Intel chips in Australia.

AMD's 'Shanghai' processors are the company's first chips to exploit the improved performance and efficiency of 45nm technology. ZDNet's tests show that they have made up important ground on Intel's Xeons.
Itanium 2, Intel's upcoming chip for high-end servers and workstations, has slimmed down.
We put two of the toughest chip makers up against each other to see which has the biggest heart for notebooks.
Processors are now called upon to handle everything from simple text and graphics, through 3D games, to serious tasks like video rendering. We put Intel and AMD's desktop CPUs through the labs to see how they cope.
