The goal is not converting business, the goal is growing the business. The opportunity is getting the fabric technology married to AMD Opteron processors and giving customers a really dense, power efficient platform for scale out computing. There is a huge opportunity for integrating that fabric into a wide range of platforms and really blowing the market wide open for this type of solution. SeaMicro has great products, and AMD has the OEM relationships that help take this to the next level.

Llano does not have ECC. We have already said that in the future we will offer APUs to the server market but you need 2 things: a.) ECC and other "server" features integrated into the APUs and b.) a market. While there are a few people doing experiments on APUs for server, the real value comes out in 2013+ when you have the HSA system architecture. That is when APUs start to get exciting.

My blog has a lot of the info. The transaction won't close for a few more weeks, so technically there is still a waiting period on roadmap changes. I can talk about why we did this and how it fits into the overall strategy, but I am not going to get into the terms of the deal or those types of details.
