i dont think you can just becuase intel had problems, amd will too. although im sure it wont be a smooth transition, but they use differnet architectures, so its unknown how the shrink will affect things, you cant use intel as a basis for predicting how another chip might fare. amd might come out clena or have a very rough time, just depends on how well they have done thier homework so to speak and im sure they havent been blind to intel's troubles in the shrink. we wont know till we actaully see the chips.
