We hope to steal more of AMD64 code to incorporate into our chips, so we can try to match their skills and eventually pummel them with better marketing. We think guys in green suits will work." ;-P “It isn’t a race” translates to: “We are losing, badly with our overly long pipleline and punishing out of order execution problems.

So for months the only choice desktop users will have for dual-core cpu's will be amd. Even after intel releases the new dual core cpu's they are likely to run far hotter and consume more power than the existing amd chips. To compete they would need to make dramatic improvements to their cpu's, which if recent history is any indication they won't. Also many of the other news sites reports seem somewhat biased against amd and tend to needlessly put the company down. I’d like to point out that amd currently makes the best desktop cpu's. Maybe intel isn't doing so well because of superior competition and not because of trends in the consumer market. The fact they recently blamed their troubles on those supposed trends just points out that they are now the number two chipmaker behind amd. The irresponsible report brought the entire chip sector down with them, which shouldn’t have happened. In fact amd’s stock should have been up because of such bad news from its competitor. As far as I can tell amd’s stock is way undervalued, due to reporters and market analysts biased unfounded opinions.
