if the alpha and itanium are 'consumer' processors then you mite as
well put the
mips, sparc64, and power4's in their too. and i think you are
forgeting the
ppc 970 ( G5 ), which shiped in 'mass' befor the AMD64.
Actually the Opteron beat the G5 by a long shot.  I think you are
thinking Atlhlon64.
i know the opteron shiped first, but i thought it was not generally 
available
for a long time ( mostly for OEM's )

True... it was hard to get an actual machine for a while but I guess 
since we
are AMD partners we had early access where I work :).
