Hell yes. It didn't seem that Intel was in a hurry to get to 1 GHz until AMD got there first. The two companies keep pushing each other. In the early 90's computers didn't seem too much different then the Commodore 64. Because of the increased competition the pace of innovation increase. We can change computers in our law office every 5 years and get a much faster computer at a cheaper price. Computer ASPs are so much less now. Intel's overhead must be much higher now than when they were selling desktop chips at $1000 apiece. How many more fabs do they have now than 15 years ago?
