A few points you might find informative....
"..Intel has already proven when they attempt to lead the way, they can't..."

That's a little short sighted, huh? Intel has led the industry for 30 years. When AMD bought Nexgen and fired their CEO was when they came alive. Bottom line is, a dollar in AMD stock 30 years ago is worth a dollar today. The buyers have voted - Intel.


".. Now they have given their best and newest effort and it only allows them to compete..."

That does not ring with someone who has been around for a while, sorry. AMD has been competing the the now 5 year old, tired netburst architecure. The only response AMD will have until K9 (bad codename) is in 2007 or 2008. I think you give AMD too much credit, albeit they have done a great job with Opteron.

"..Not to mention that Intel's refusal for an onbaord memory controller is going to prove fatal when multi-core goes mainstream..."

It seems everyone thinks an on-board mem controller is some sort of holy grail or some secret sauce. Hate to say that AMD's advantages are 95% beating netburst and about 2% for the mem controller - and that is only for jumpy code like games. They have done a great job of hyping that as well as HT.

"..I can't remeber a time when I've seen so many systems advertised as featuring AMD. No small step..."

Basically, AMD won retail - about what 10% of the market? Yup, retail requires advertisement to bring in the consumer. What you are seeing is pretty consistent. All it takes is for INtel to win one or two large SKU's with an HP or ACER and it swings the other way. Good shoing anyways.. I agree.

"..we all know that AMD is the one to thank for that..."

I actually thank Intel and Microsoft for creating the industry. Without them, we will be using punch cards on IBM mainframes. AMD? They basically have been like how a remora attaches itself to a shark. The one to thank is not AMD, it's IBM - for forcing Intel to second source the X86 product line!
