I've got to comment on this statement. There is nothing whatsoever to substantiate this claim other than AMD hype, and considering AMD's continuous failure to perform, I give it all the credibility it deserves (zero).

Semi, Re: I like the way intel showed examples of people using the technology, instead of just standing in a crowded corner with "Deer In Headlight" looks, saying "Do Me".

Actually, the new AMD slogan sounds to me a lot more like "AMD Me Too". Seeing it side by side Intel's "Yes" campaign makes it look so meek by comparison. Plus, as I said before, the timing is totally off. Right now, AMD wishes they could say "Me Too", but with Hammer out in Q2 and Barton falling past holiday sales, I don't see AMD being an element of concern in Intel's second half earnings. This year, it's time for Intel to concentrate on a more important problem - market demand.
