"Will the first shot succeed or fail, and when will that be?"

Dunno. I haven't seen any benchmarks. Based on the architectural details released, it will depend on the benchmark. Multi-threaded applications could have a significant per clock advantage. Floating point/SSEx should be at least equal, if not better on a per clock basis. And virtualization should be significantly better. Will it be the darling of the gamer crowd? I dunno. I'd rather see AMD the darling of the commercial crowd. Which, between HP and Dell, it has a shot at.
