kash - <And their 0.18 micron seems pretty dogshit slow even with the notched gates etc.>

Good! If your attitude is indicative of AMD's, then Intel has an easier row to hoe :-)).

For the record, most folks familiar with device design and process technology are not calling Intel's .18 process "dogshit slow".

AMD probably has an advantage in that their core is a new design. This will help them vs. MHz if for the sake of argument thier xtors are not as fast as Intel's.

Intel's xtor process is most likely a little better, coupled with an iteration of a core that's older.

Pro's and cons on both sides.

My prediction remains tit for tat vs. MHz. Of course, both sides have to execute on the manufacturing side to make this happen. If one side stumbles, they're going to fall behind rapidly.
