chipguy,

"My understanding is that it's a Pentium III resurgence, mixed with some of the capability of the Pentium IV." AMD's H. Richard

So he is proud of the fact that a 1990's Intel design is kicking the snot out of AMD's latest and greatest?

One of the chief architects nicely put it like this (I may be paraphrasing a little because it comes from memory, but the analogy is clear):

"We could not be brainwashed to forget all we did with previous generations, so of course some ideas in Core are the same. But is my daughter the same person as me just because she shares half of my DNA?"
