Dell and HP will start using the new quad core Opteron CPUs that are more efficient that the normal CPUs. AMD needs some slam-dunks to get back in step with Intel. These moves help, but it needs to get off a shaky image of poor quality that it recently had.

Low-power HE processors, with speeds ranging from 2.1GHz to 2.3GHz, are designed to address a segment of the server market "that must maximize performance during peak hours while managing the energy costs during idle and low-utilization hours," AMD said. High-performance SE processors, which run at 2.8GHz, are targeted at customers with "the most performance-intensive data center workloads," AMD said.
