Now, I hear rumors that AMD is to be preferred over Intel for
performance reasons. Any comments on that? Are we better off getting AMD
processors, when running Unix?

AMD announced today the new quad core. Their benchmarks are promising.

But not the dual core versions.

OK, thanks! But this means they can't deliver very soon, I guess, so I'd better stick to woodcrest if I want to buy something soon.

they are delivering already. Those German guys have had real silicon to test with. I have no idea how long it will take to get one if your name is not Sun or Cray.

I think it is very simple for you. If they are not available the moment you want to buy, you will buy Intel.
