You don't know Paul. He bashed Merced mercilessly and was the first person to (in an article) detail IA-64 as a parallel to Intel's previous server architecture failures (the i860, not to be confused with the chipset of the same name).
 
He came down hard on Rambus. It was because of him that people had ammunition when they needed to fight various claims made by Rambus fans. He explained, in detail, the problems with heat, latency, and so forth, of the memory.
 
He *happens* to think that Intel made the right choice in setting aside pipe stages for wire delays, an act which may allow for greater rampability with process shrinks. This could easily be a correct assumption.
 
It is really, really unfair to make false statements about Paul. Paul *likes* AMD and he *likes* the Athlon. Maybe he doesn't like the changes that are being made for the Hammer (I don't get that impression from what I've seen him write, but you have, apparently). That doesn't mean he hates AMD and has some sort of agenda for Intel!
