In what could be an upsetting move for Advanced Micro Devices, supercomputing firm Cray Inc. has inked agreements with Intel to deploy Xeon processors in the company's upcoming Cascade product line.

Cray said this deal was not a reaction to AMD's struggles getting out four-core versions of the Opteron chip. Although, the supercomputer maker was forced to delay the release of recent systems due to AMD's woes. So, it must be comforting to bring Intel on as an option. Cray declined to say whether or not Opterons will also sit in the Cascade units, as has been the plan.
