>>>and are split roughly 50/50 between Intel and AMD.<<<

Compare this to a couple years ago prior to the Athlon success. Intel once owned 90% market share and this is no longer the case. If performance enthusiasts are 50/50 split between the two ~ using your numbers ~ this a HUGE contrast to when Intel had a virtual monopoly.

AMD is finally building a reputation for itself...a brand name. And best of all, it requires minimal advertising to maintain. Meanwhile Intel showers our TVs with ads just to hold market share among the uninformed consumers.

Tomshardware.com is right when they state that AMD needs to become more confident in its position and realize they deserve, and are capable of, charging more of a premium for their high-end chips now.

Intel's P4 2 Gig chips lag in most benchmark evaluations across the web compared to the XP line. Every year consumers are getting more savvy and educated, and this Radioshack and Sam's Club peddling of core clockspeed isn't going to cut it for long. Many already questioned how a Mac G4 at 800 core clock could keep up with the latest offerings from Intel or AMD...Apple's been using IPC in its cpu designs forever, and now so is AMD. It's about time.

Intel needs the blue men to plug the holes. Even WinXP runs better on a Palamino.
