When Intel starts kicking AMD's butt in all the benchmarks starting with Woodcrest and continuing through Clovertown (which will ship this year, according to the article), I'll return to let you know how absurd and silly your comments are.

Excellent! So we won't be hearing from you until and unless that happens?

BTW, why do we care when Intel is "shipping" a part, as opposed to launching it, or better, OEMs having it available for sale?

"Launch" is Q107, per Intel.

I assume when you say "kick their butt" in benchmarks you are talking about a product that in performance terms is greatly in excess of its competition than the say 0 - 5% "noise" levels.........
Oh and just to clarify what exactly will you be comparing say the top end Woodcrest and Clovertown to?
