Actually the opposite is true, Intel can overcome any design advantage with its vast output, huge R & D budget and relentlessly improving price/performance ratio. Each generation of microprocessors is more expensive to develop than the last, so only the companies with the greatest amount of resources will be left competing.

As the NY Times reports, two weeks ago Jack Dongarra of U of Tennessee certified a 2.5 gigahertz Pentium 4 as the fastest processor in the world on the Linpack Benchmark, the first time an off-the-shelf processor has won that distinction.

High priced, low volume microprocessors built on a aging 80s architecture, is probably not the technology on which to place your bets in this race.
