Whew, most of those charts are pretty brutal on AMD. I can't imagine they're having much for over there this morning! Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens with the old Athlon 64 now. As Anand says, this round is over, Intel by KO.
Why? Flash is an industry standard plugin that over 80% of computers have installed. It's lightweight, and is much lower on bandwidth than the conventional graphic format.

Since at work or at school we don't have it installed and I don't have administrator permission to install it either. You may be right that ~20% of computers don't have it, but those ~20% are often shared by a lot of people while the ~80% are often just one person per computer. So you are effectively cutting off far more than 20% of your readers.
Just plain numbers are far lower on bandwidth than flash - and everyone can read it no matter what. At least have a compromise and put both.
AMD CPU's do more work per mhz but this is a case where the speed gap (in actual mhz) is just too much to overcome.
Being more efficient doesn't cut it anymore, not when the CPU is 1ghz slower. AMD needs to work on CPU speeds where it goes higher at least in 200mhz increments. Unless they do this and come up within 500mhz of Intel's top CPU's, I don't think the Athlon64 is going to be enough to make them competitive.
