   64 bit machine in mass production.  I am already impressed!

if the alpha and itanium are 'consumer' processors then you mite as well put the mips, sparc64, and power4's in their too. and i think you are forgeting the ppc 970 ( G5 ), which shiped in 'mass' befor the AMD64.

Actually the Opteron beat the G5 by a long shot.  I think you are
thinking Atlhlon64.

i know the opteron shiped first, but i thought it was not generally available
for a long time ( mostly for OEM's )


True... it was hard to get an actual machine for a while but I guess since we
are AMD partners we had early access where I work :).
