<If AMD will build it, they will come.>

Bruce, this is exactly the attitude that will be the downfall of AMD. "Build it and they will come" hasn't worked for 3D-Now. If it did, AMD would have successfully used it as a marketing differentiator against Celeron in Q4. Instead, AMD had to respond to Celeron with lower prices.

AMD really needs to take the initiative and actively push the advantages of their products. Living off a small anti-Intel backlash and the naive "Build it and they will come" philosophy is going to cripple the ASP forever.
