Re: Don't you find it the least bit ironic that Great Intel feels the need to mention their smaller competitor by name, and stage a black-box comparison between their next-generation 6-9 month 65nm future part and the competitor's 2-month-old last-revision 90nm part?

There is irony that Intel has been put in the position where they have to more aggressively challenge their competitor's performance prospects, but the question is now what AMD can do in response. Mas seems to think quad core this year is far more likely.

chipdesigner,

Good response. WMBW just answered your original question. Turns out he answered very convincingly, since you tap-dance your way to some other topic.

And, no it is not ironic. Intel was never great. AMD is not a small competitor. It is business. You were winning. Now you are about to lose. Too bad.

IMHO
