AMD is way too late, sadly.
They ruled the market when they shipped their Athlon 64.
But when Intel came with their Core 2 duo.. Bye AMD.
The question is how AMD's new CPU's does. I dont see them taking too much intel marketshare.
But i think that again when intel ships the 45nm cpu's, AMD is gonna be the small ones again.

Was reading about that earlier funnily enough. But yeah, they'll probibally give AMD another run for their money in the market. I'm happy to buy Intel CPUs now concidering they made their CPU prices reasonable.  _________________

But intel uses High-K dielectrics for their chips = win win win..
Factor 10 less leakage, and better Capactiance.
And 45nm will allow the price to be lower, compared to the old technologies, because of that it fits better on a wafer, for instance.
I used to be an AMD fan. But intel is way better.
And intel got Wide Dynamic Execution  _________________ Codito Ergo Sum | Even i, who have no clue about social life

Without AMD intel would have a virtually full monopoly on the Market, which would mean high prices and slower release dates. I bet we'd be at least a couple of years behind where we are now. AMD have made bit of a loss recently though which is not good news though...

Noooo 
AMD has always been the gamers favourite.....just shows how much things can change in the computer hardware world. _________________

Just remember that their chips are cheaper _________________ The Pancreas of S.T.F.U. | Never take life too seriously - nobody gets out alive anyway. Disco_jim: um..... I have no excuse. | Chips: Thank the Beef | Rev Dr: Beef, I think i wee'd a little
