Re: ", I think unless you have data, it's more logical to assume a 7th generation processor will be superior to a 6th generation processor than the other way around. "

Based on that alone it would be logical, however flipping a set of foils and claiming to be 7th generation does not a fact make. Presentations at forums are not the same thing as shipping a product. Poor benchmarks that are explained away by tortured logic does not add revenue to your bottom line. Product announcements do not make up for 100s of $$MILLIONS$$ in losses. At some point hype must give way to reality. In the world of business, reality is measured by a company's bottom line. Talk is cheap but it doesn't pay the bills.
