I'm thinking that AMD could be in some serious do-do:

Who haven't though the same when intel demoed 1.4GHz P4, then 2GHz P4, then 3GHz P4...
Intel makes the noise, AMD engineers hear it and react to it. I think the SOI issue will turn out to be the same as the copper issue (edit: and the palomino issue) : K8 will end up reaching it's potential clockspeed, which will be 3.2-3.4GHz on .13u SOI, 4-4.2 on .90u SOI.

The Athlon 64 at 4 GHz DDR-II enabled (dual-channel) will eat a prescott at 5GHz, and that on 32-bit code. On top of that, I still expect MSFT to push x86-64 very hard to encourage replacement cycle.

AMD/Intel is an ever-aging battle... and the wisest will win, not necessarily the more powerfull.
