I wonder ... now that it's clear that Intel will not have an answer to Barcelona in 2007 was gonna happen …
If Penryn will se the light only in Q1 2008 there’s not much sense to launch a new architecture in Q3 2008 is there? …
So maybe we will stuck with the Penryn vs Barcelona duo longer than we’ve initially expected … (I’m referring to some roadmaps placing Nehalem release in middle of 2008 … seems more like 2009 to me now ).
So only if Barcelona will be competitive enough ... maybe AMD may just save the day (and the year ... a year that didn’t started well for them).
And what’s all this: “we have Hyper-Threading, but will only utilize 4 threads” stuff … sounds more like a marketing trick than like a certain fact. I think Intel is playing a waiting game for now and keeps its options wide open; only AMD can screw up right now :twisted: . Surely the next step Intel makes will be more or less influenced by what AMD will be doing with Barcelona.
