I'm glad they're getting something, caus they have a hell of a time. Just like the meek.
Actually the fact that they can keep up with Intel at all is impressive. They have less cache and last gen manufacturing and they still hold their own. Intel is mostly beating them with Fab's. 45nm allows for more cache and higher clock speeds while using less power. The basic AMD design is very old now. It's still going to be 6 months before Intel adopts AMD's integrated memory controller design from 6 years ago.

I really like to see AMD to stay in the CPU game, they have done a lot for the consumers.
Keep it up!

AMD isn't going anywhere...

How about a slightly faster chip with motion sensing? That'd be *completely* different.

'will look "completely different"'
nah they are just gonna paste a different sticker on it.

Because 65nm Core 2's don't beat the Phenoms clock-for-clock, and they can't ramp em up to hire frequencies. Oh wait...

Something differant like "it looks like a big cat or something.....what like a Puma?.....Yeah there you go...."
