While this is true, I am anxious to see how it all plays out too. With Intel making gains as they are with Conroe and 65nm technology, they will have moved onto 45nm technology by the time AMD gets to 65.
Looks like a battle in the very near future and I for one can't wait to see it.
True, but AMD's has been pretty good at getting stuff to work for them. They stuck it out with DDR because it worked for them up until now. Not only did they make it work for them, they beat the competition with it for quite a while.
It will be great to watch these two (AMD/Intel, not piddy and sumdumguy) duke it.
I can't wait to see how these 65nm chips overclock considering they're supposed to run cooler.
Which 65nm's? AMD's next year, or Intel's in 4 months?
I honestly don't know how in the bloody hell AMD is going to scale 90nm to not only fit the power constraints but the performance constraints Intel is putting on them.
Sorry, I meant both 65's when they're available.
I wan't saying they were going to beat the Intel specs. What I was getting at is AMD knows how to react just like Intel does. Both can be innovative when they have to and it should be an interesting 12 months.
Man, I really don't know! Without 65nm, AMD is stuck in a hole...and that shouldn't come until next year...
What options for scaling the 90nm SOI do they really have??
The only thing I can think of is AMD creating an entire new architecture..not something easy to pull out of your ass in 6 months or less, let alone without a billion or so dollars.
