From the Electronic News -

Excerpts from the article:
...

"I don't think they are defocussing," said Linley Gwennap, principal analyst at The Linley Group. "I would say that Intel has the myth of being invulnerable. The competition is causing Intel to misstep."

...

After losing the speed war to AMD, Intel was desperate to roll out high-speed products to the market, but it paid a price for not running adequate field trials. "It was clear that Intel announced the 1GHz before it was ready," said Gwennap. "If it had followed its roadmap, they wouldn't be having those problems."

...

Intel's greatest challenge will be to thwart competition in these new businesses at the same time it is fighting off AMD and upstart chipmakers such as Transmeta, which is working on Crusoe, a very-low-power chip targeted at the Celeron market.
