One day someone will write a book and detail what the hell happened in the processor wars: why AMD hit a stride for a few years and gained favor with enthusiasts and gamers for low cost/high perofrming CPU's, only to stumble beginning in the mid 2000's when Intel debuted multi-core processors followed by AMD never recovering.

The ONE seeming thing AMD finally learned was not to bother trying to guesstimate release timeframes for their supposed "upcoming products" anymore, since everyone knows where that's gotten them in the last few years (products that were late and over budget (and therefore noncompetetive with Intel), or simply cancelled altogether).

From the chief executes that are fleeing the AMD ship, to the stock price that's in the toilet, to the paper launches of late, I wouldn't dream of being a stock holder.

If I was head of AMD I would tell me public relations department (whoever hasn't quit yet) to STFU and then I'd tell R&D to develop a killer product in secrecy, not announcing the g-damn release until the DAY its actually available to distribution channels and OEM's.

Ofcourse they won't do that, so be my guest, AMD, continue to bleed out while we all watch and remember the golden years.

I'd say the 12 core deal ranks far lower in usefulness, but as we all know these things will drift down to mainstream at a sane pricepoint and will even have the much-desired usefulness at one point, even if it is just to start the latest Windows :p

There will be nobody forcing you into this, so it seems sane to just keep voting with your dollars.

You CAN'T make ATI better, no matter how hard you try. They tapped out a long time ago. Nvidia yawns whenever ATI announces a new product, because it means they send an email to their P.R. department: "release the hounds" and what follows is the prompt release of a product that they've long developed but have been holding back for 12-18 months for lack of competition.
