I suspect they will considering they announced the construction of
another .45 nm Fab in Israel the other day. Intel is going to be around
for a long time and I think they're back on track now. AMD better watch
out! @:)>

Good point, the centrino branding is probably quite the
moneyspinner
for them.
If I am not mistaken, this is the first year that Intel based
notebooks outsold Intel based desktops. I don't think Intel
is crying
too much over AMD's pyrrhic victory in the desktop segment
when they
have shifted most of their business to focus on a lucrative mobile
market.
AMD outsold intel in the retail desktops segment for the past
few quarters as I recall, Although I think Intels biggest
worry about AMD is the server segment though, they're
starting to get some proper recognition there, hell, Ebay
just announced they were moving over to a cluster of a few
hundred Sun rigs with Opterons in them.... add that in with
FAB36 coming online and AMD actually having CAPACITY with
which to make things... and.. well if Ebay and Sun are taking
you seriously, you've already made a big impact,
My main hope is that Intel don't squash AMD like a bug, and
it looks like AMD will maintain their interconnect advantage,
this is actually a good thing, because it gives AMD a chance
to rejig their core and give us (the end user) some tit for
tat performance/price wars, rather than getting swatted like
flies and having no response and new chips from intel being
stupidly overpriced...
Oh, one thing that should be interesting in the 06/07
timeframe, FB- Dimm.. which, more or less means Intel will be
on an integrated memory controller, it'll just have a cascade
based approach to it..
sorta...
We live in interesting times.
