“Although not noted for its server lineup, Apple Xserve has made significant strides over the past two years. And this year, Apple surprised the world when it announced a shift to the Intel Core Duo processor. The move has been implemented at the PC level already and will be added to Xserve by the end of the year. Although a small player compared with HP, Dell and IBM, Apple seems to know which way the server wind is blowing. As a result, it has made significant changes in Xserve over the past year in hardware and software as well as in added storage capabilities in the form of Xsan for storage area networking.”

According to Google, it’s blowing towards AMD, even with Paul Otellini on their board.
is only 32bit
(if im not wrong)
I had half wondered whether or not Apple would still maintain a PowerPC XServe line (since there are good reasons to do so)… it looks doubtful now, given Grossman’s comments.
Wait and see.
