wintel
<jargon, architecture> A term describing any computer
platform consisting of some version of Microsoft Windows
running on an Intel 80x86 processor or compatible.
Despite the dominance of the wintel platform, in its many
forms, from MS-DOS on an Intel 8088 to Windows 2000 on a
Pentium II Xeon, there are many "non-wintel" platforms in
use. These include Acorn, Amiga, Apple, ARM, Atari,
ABox, Be, Network Computer, OS/2, PowerPC, Psion,
Linux and all other Unix systems.

Examples of use of Wintel
1. "The gap in performance is going to be tighter [in the second half], but enterprise customers who already have Opterons need more than a dead heat to reconsider." Mr Seyer said he was convinced that AMD could retain a lead and "keep the performance–per–watt crown." He would not speculate on whether AMD would go on to order processors for the rest of its business, but said: "I do not know of any other server customer that started at the high end and did not go wider with the product line." The Dell–Intel exclusive relationship has lasted longer than the "Wintel" alliance with Microsoft, although Intel made its own breakthrough last year when it wooed Apple away from IBM and Freescale Power PC processors.
