Petz, Re: "Its an analog technology, so it is 4 times more difficult to double the bits in a cell."

What a bold statement, Petz. How "insightful".

Not really, though, since most designs these days involve analog development. High speed signaling is one example. When you look at waveforms, you no longer see squarewaves, but rather sharp spikes. But most engineers already know how to deal with this. Your claim that things will be "difficult" for Intel goes without saying, but it was also "difficult" for AMD to get 2 bits per cell using their method - they took years developing it.

On the other hand, I fully expect AMDroid logic to tell you that there is no other practical way to achieve what AMD has achieved, nor should anyone bother to try.
