Hmmm. Some of the industry magazines I have been reading imply that AMD has been keeping Intel hones, ie forcing it to compete. At the moment Intel is saying it prefers to market several different lines geared to market niches rather than pursuing greater processor speed, but the paranoid in me wonders whether this is face-saving. There is, a case, I grant you, for the thought that greater miniaturization need nto *necessarily* lead to larger numbers of chips per processor :)
