What I expect won't happen this year. It will have first impact next year, but most impact will be in the next decade.

You haven't explained what you expect, you haven't explained why you expect it and you haven't explained why you expect it to happen when you do. You are reinforcing the impression that you are surrounded by incense, knelt on a prayer rug thumbing through beads while chanting. I think you belong back on SI.

You need to narrow it down some more for us...
In terms of raw core performance, it appears Intel has the lead and is gaining. There is nothing new in Barcelona.

In terms of cache architecture, Intel has had a shared last level cache with Core, and Tulsa as well. There is nothing new here.

In terms of scalable interconnect (ala HT), from all appearances Intels CSI will put HT to shame. It will be faster, and more scalable thanks to the directory.

In terms of homogeneous versus heterogeneous core architectures, and integration of said cores, I think Intel has the lead here as well.
or is it something else?

So I guess this means that Nehalem will be felt most in the next decade also. I hope your inside info on Intel is as deep as your insider info on AMD. Frankly - you cannot go decades ahead, witness P4 :) no one knows what they will hit a decade ahead, they hope they know, but shit, anything could happen.
