Except for one thing. Apparently, you have not been keeping up with the reviews on power that Intel's 45nm has been producing. AMD's 45nm process is simply a shrink of their 65nm process that will not produce higher speeds or lower power (just more chips). I don't think that's true: on slide 24 of amd.com , AMD's 45 nm process is also linked to high-K and metal gates. In addition, they use immersion lithography. So I'd say that AMD improvements going from 65 to 45 nm may be bigger than Intels.
