The numbers are 10,746 Opteron servers and 4,957 Itanium servers, according to IDC.

For a chip that was only launched in spring, the figures are not bad for AMD, which has the support of tier one vendors like Sun and IBM now, but not HP (yet) or Dell (ever?)."

Interesting statement considering the limited availability and high price tag...
Though as much as AMD wants consumer market, SUN and IBM are far better for Opterons to combat Intel's Xeon and Itanium marketshares. Me, I'm done with duallies - I want the quad setups like the one Tyan [pics] has said to have demonstrated recently.
