The key is, you're getting a stable platform that offers everything you want over the next 3 to 5 years. No, sockets are changing again in 2008.

"What is important to most of us is not the last 10 or 20% of performance at peak, it's the overall platform deployment cost." To be more accurate, it isn't as important as it used to be. AMD had little mindshare before, it has it now. They've tried playing platform costs for years, it got them very little traction. That has changed. Losing the performance edge is not going to hurt like it did a few years back.
