I think Intel may have gained back the performance crown

BTW, I just bought 3k INTC shares...so I hope you are right! I personally don't think Intel will "devastate" AMD at all, but I do think they will stop the marketshare drain by the end of the year (which will truly help their bottom line...).

My main point is that you are predicting a wild tromp on the part of Intel, without anything concrete to back it up. As it's not possible to know one way or the other, why not just stick to the facts?

Go into a bookstore and ask the clerk what their favourite book is and it will be something you've never heard of, ask a movie buff what their favourite film is and it was probably some obscure film. Ask a computer enthusiest what he best processor is and thye have to say AMD, otherwise all the people mentioned above are just agreeing the ordinary joes and their 'expert' opinions arent any differnet then anyone elses.

Obviously thats an exageration, but the point is still there, people wh oconsider themselves in hte know are likely to choose a nonestablishment canidate in order to differentiate themsleves from the pack. Of course AMD really is better for alot of stuff, but that don't mean Intel don't do some stuff right too. Anyways, waht were looking at in the cedar mill is a chip that costs Intel jack sh|t (65nm means die size so small), and that overclocks very well. So AMDs processors may be better, but you can bet Intel is raking in the $$$ producing processors at smaller process nodes. At any point Intel can drop the bottom out of its pricing and send AMD to the grave, of course if it does then Intel will get broken up by the monopoly laws, but hte fact of the matter is that AMD exists because Intel isn't allowed to kill it, not because its processors pwn Intels. Not sure what that has to do with the origional topic, but its late and im procrastinating so i might as well rant/ramble...

I hear ya BT...but the opposite is true as well. Many if not most "experts" fully expect Intel to come back strong. This isn't because of the facts necessarily, but because that's what always USED to happen...
It may happen this time, it may not...nobody at all (not Intel and not AMD) will really know the truth until the chips come out, but it doesn't stop people from explaining how they "know" what will happen.
