Reports in 2010:

In November, 2009, we published a report that sets the theme and tone for a lot of the research that we will be doing in 2010.  And now that Intel's new x86 Xeon multi-core has arrived, and also because IBM has released a new POWER processor, we have updated this report.  For more on our view of the server market, -lease examine: And Then There Were Three: POWER, x86, and z -- UPDATE.
