Hmaly, <Tench, I take it from your answer, Intel hasn't had any innovations lately> Well, since you asked, try: 1) RDRAM chipsets (with help from Rambus, of course) 2) 810 integrated chipset 3) Mendocino Celeron 4) 450NX 4-way chipset 5) Profusion 8-way chipset 6) Streaming SIMD enhancements 7) Advanced Hub Architecture (a.k.a. HubLink) 8) Coppermine 9) FC-PGA packaging 10) Notched 0.18u gates There, that's a good partial list of Intel innovations, and that's not even going back very far. You can argue that some of them shouldn't be considered "Intel innovations" (i.e. Profusion was bought from Corollary; FC-PGA is kind of a non-issue), but the list will still be much longer than you could ever imagine.
