Intel Corp (INTC)

Intel is not going to cut cost by 30% going from 132mm to 112mm which only amounts to a 15% decrease in die size. Throw in the fact that with each die shrink yields decrease and Prescott runs hot and can't even top Northwood with a die shrink to start and I don't think the picture is so rosy for Intel. Intel has to make revisions on the chip because it simply runs too hot. Plus looking at the benchmarks, Northwood which loses to A64 still beats Prescott and is available at 3.4G while Prescott is only currently available at 3.2G. Looks like Intel has problems.
