Re: I think it's fair to say it is more due to AMDs management than Intels this arch materialized.

Then it's also fair to say that AMD wouldn't be where it is today without a company like Intel to aim at. Just look at AMD's business model. Their future earnings are 100% dependent on how much market share they take from Intel, not by how much they grow the overall market. They needed Intel to create the market before they could attempt to live on a portion of it.

That would be ridiculous, the new arch is due to the fact that P4 wouldn't scale, AMD is, was, and always will be there, but heat problems weren't.
