But you claim AMD has nothing new once Intel catches up to where AMD was last year - Note that AMD has had working fin-fet prototypes for 4 years http://www-leti.cea.fr/commun/AR-2004/P/P1-01.pdf http://www.eetimes.com/news/semi/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=331BHXIV2J41IQSNDBCSKHSCJUMEKJVN?artic.... and will (as they were with copper, SOI, etc.) almost certainly beat Intel to fin-fet by 2 years or more. Fin-fet parts will let AMD deliver faster parts that use less power even than AMD's present dual strained SOI process.


my power point engineering is as good as yours ;). See page 51. You better hope AMD is not still working on finfets

Dan, maybe you can answer this simple question. With AMD's "huge lead" on Intel, why did Steve Jobs choose Intel over AMD?
