HailMary -

Hammer isn't all that complex. Given Intel's resources, they should be way ahead, but somehow, they are not. Something is amiss.

I guess it depends on your metric. Intel is wildly profitable and swimming in cash. That puts them way ahead in my book. AMD has made a habit of designing high performance products that are very difficult to manufacture and hence only rarely profitable. Intel could easily design the highest performance product in the world if they didn't care if it was manufacturable or could produce a profit. Intel's goal isn't simply to post the highest benchmark while blasting mutant aliens. It's to be profitable. Therein lies the difference.
