THE DIRECTOR of Itanium circuits and technology, Sam Naffziger, has been poached by AMD to work on alternative server designs.

According to Real World Tech, Naffziger, who also is an Intel "Fellow", was the brains behind dual core Itanium chip Montecito. He fled the Intel coop to join AMD at the beginning of this month and what's worse is setting up camp at Fort Collins, where Intel's Itanium design centre is located.

Intel borged the Fort Collins centre from HP. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
