The perpetual need to keep users interested in upgrading their systems on a regular basis is far more important to Intel than losing/gaining a few points of market to/from AMD.
No dispute. But it does not take a new arch to achieve this if there is nothing better in the market. Intels marketing people are at least as inventive as Intels arch-designers.
More generally, as wbmw and tecate got my point already there is hope you arrive there within days.:)
AHH Err, Intel is still making this P4 technology and 32 bit core stuff...isn't Intel only going to have 35% core 2 this quarter...I think Intel would have been on a much slower ramp...
