Intel or AMD?

Still, I'd be a hell lot more impressed had they gone back to the Northwood design, reimplemented their new features, the few important fixes, and added their cache to that, used SOI, and released a new Uber-Northwood.

Almost exactly how I feel, though the cache is part of the problem. I mean even a 25% cpu load can give a 100% cache load. I would want a faster fsb, instead.
