Intel Chips in Some Sun Servers

According to reports, Sun Microsystems has decided to use chips from Intel in some of its servers.

Although there is no official announcement from either company yet, it is expected sometime this week.
The specifics of the deal are not clear but it is certain that Sun will use Intel's Xeon processors in its x86 servers.

If reports are to be believed, the first servers from this partnership will be launched in the first half of 2007, and Sun will also sell Xeon-based workstations.
