Re: By the time 2.5Ghz Barcelona is released, Intel will have Nehalem and AMD will be back in the K5 days as the only advantage AMD holds in any area is in bandwidth of the platform, and Nehalem kills that. AMD may launch a 2.5GHz eventually - probably before Intel launches Nehalem - but I'm pretty sure it won't be enough to regain leadership. Harpertown is already faster than AMD's vapor parts in most server benchmarks, though it's hardly worth bragging about when AMD doesn't even have a shippable competitive part. The only thing left for sale are 90nm dual core Opterons - and one has to wonder what ASP AMD is getting for them these days....
