Well I hope so. If the competition is not strong, it'll be Intel dictating the prices and mosying along leisurely in the performance arena, like it was doing when AMD delivered the Athlon Ghz kick in its rear that it needed.
I'm all-Intel, dual and quad core, at the moment, but I'll be happy to buy an AMD chip if it's worth it performance-wise.
I want more performance all the time. I'll buy from anyone who can deliver.
So deliver, AMD !

is BaronMatrix, that twit!?

Oh, he's in the bathroom having a personal moment.

Unless this "unnamed" engineer is Tony Stark, I doubt AMD will regain much ground even if the production and roll-out of Shanghai is perfect.

amd is somewhere close to number 10. 
-there is no way amd can compete in broad range of products. One segment may be ok.

AMD can deliver for this and Denab I am waiting on Denab as I am thinking about upgrading from Sk939.

I stick with AMD because I have used them from K-6 III but my Sk939 was only build last year. And my Sk A was 2 years before that I am always behind on system because of the prices you can get parts at there's just crazy to pass on.

Let's hope so. The tech world is a better place by far with a strong AMD.

I sure hope I can plop a 45nm 3.0GHz Phemom X4 in my motherboard which supports only up to a TDP of 95W in 2009.
