re: Certainly not. There is always people buying stuff because it is new and Intels media-mindmachine says they need it because it runs benchmarks fast. Penryn is in time to reach those who fell for Netburst last time. So nothing much can go wrong as long as Intel has Nehalem in the fabs on a second gen process before public awareness rises these people have been caught again.

Nehalem is expected deliver benefits. But then, it will only be mainstream in 2010. That's what Eric sees, and Mary adressed with the 3-years remark. I see the same.


Yeah, right, you changed the argument. Convenient, huh?

45nm will be mainstream in 2Q08 when Intel is xisitoning 65nm to 45nm. This will be Penryn.

But, I get your point. No one wants Intel until the Intel architecture matches the beauty of AMD's architecture after Q109, adoption by 2010. And, that's why people want AMD....

Not. People unlike us(outside of this board) don't know anything about architecture and don't care. AMD wins business based on price, not elegance. That's what you are not getting. Performance still establishes the pricing.

BTW, I think you might be in for a surprise on Nehelem. Are you expecting me-tooism in this situation too?
