Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

[confused]

In my opinion Intel moving to model numbers much like AMD did with Opteron does not mean either company is going to stop increasing chip speed. So I would expect a 5 gig Prescott would have some appropriate model number in their scheme if they stick with it. My numbers were just pulled out of the air but my real question is in effect what if in six to 12 months Intel comes up with a solution that exceeds the A64 performance?

The general tone of some of the posters is A64 represents some sort of inflection point and that Intel is very likely to be damaged severly in just the next few months to a year. I think A64 is an excellent chip but as yet see no concrete reasons that Intel is terribly threatened.
