It really depends on what makes the most money.

Mobile, mobile, mobile. Most room for easy improvement by AMD (think 65nm, think specialized mobile core, think ATI chipset) and currently a small market share. It has to be the low-hanging fruit for the next couple of years.

Typically you can trade power for frequency. Ask any overclocker.

I remember reading that about 30 years ago. Maybe that's why AMD currently has 90 nm parts from 25W to about 100W. But when they go to 65 nm, can you automatically get the same performance at half the power or twice the cores at the same frequency? That would be "huge"!
