<< Seems to me that AMD should inspect one and copy it, of course if it is the architecture that does it >> If they started doing that upon the release of the p4, it still probably would have taken 3 years (minimum) to get the chip to production. All they can do is hope that the k8 design team did a good job, because if they didn't they're in deep trouble, and there will be no quick hack available. << At least then they will be selling an equal. trouble is if they emulate the architecture they get the flaws that make the P4 so bad at throughput as well?? >> I'd be curious to see what things would be like if AMD had the p4 core and Intel had the athlon core. My guess is AMD would still get smoked because Intel would control the benchmarks, and people would say AMD's high frequency was trying to fool the consumer.
