AMD doesn't spend billions of dollars on research, so they take the best of what is out there and make good choices on how and when to use it. Laugh all you want. It makes good business sense for a company the size of AMD. Their innovation is putting all the pieces together into a product that can play across a broad market and be competitive with a giant.

I am not laughing at AMD's strategy, it is indeed wise
for a company of its size and it executes it very well.
And its hard to do much better than follow the technical
paths blazed by the Alpha crew.

However it is beyond silly to paint AMD as a powerhouse
of innovation that Intel must somehow folllow as sgolds
did.
