IBM upped its backing of AMD’s Opteron processor this week, announcing its new eServer Cluster 1350, which the company claims is the only integrated cluster solution using AMD 64 dual-core technology with the blade form factor — thin, lower-power servers that are joined in large numbers for higher-performance computing. Big Blue said its Cluster 1350 would give customers access to a broader set of applications requiring “extreme” performance.
