[quote="Short Hand":25bcd]AMD "was" at one time, the big dog over intel performance wise, but recently instead of wasting the funds and efforts to keep pumping out the fastest home use CPU[/quote:25bcd]

Nice try. GG, though.

Intel has always been ahead of AMD. It took them months longer than Intel to release a chip past the 2.0ghz mark. Itaniums have been out longer than the AMD64 AND outperform the AMD64. Like I said, Intel is just not releasing the chip until they have software to support it, UNLIKE Athlon. Athlon is making a desperate grab at trying to gain in the market. Intel is pummeling them, considering that Intel already has chips in pre-market testing that exceed 5.0ghz.
