Nothing personal, I looked at facts, drew a conclusion, and simply decided Intel was the better company!
Well thats your opinion, but statistics and fact speak for themselves
AMD is thrashing Intel, the AMD64 is just plain a better chip
You can look at the majority of users surrounding you right here in this forum and see how many are AMD users, are recommending AMD and how many are switching to AMD. Intel has lost and is losing customers and market share by the day and yes they are scrambling.... to beat AMD
No, they may not be scrambling to a 64 bit CPU, but they are scrambling to gain an edge, whether it be thru dual core's, or whatever
But they are in a deep whole and having AMD release their dual core first doesn't bode well for Intel and they will need a miracle to beat AMD with a dual core
I don't think Intel can beat AMD at AMD's game, they have to take alternate strategy, just as they did with P4, AMD kept the pipeline short and clock speeds down, while Intel did exactly the opposite and for awhile creamed AMD....until AMD one upped Intel with their AMD64 that had an onboard memory controller
Intel can't just lob on a memory controller or 64 bit extensions to win this war, they have to make a quantum leap further, and as they seem to have proved...you can't just take on cache
