Yeah, amd beating intel by a few points with an outdated architecture with every clock squeezed out of it and slashing prices to compete really doesn't mean jack. They need to really do something special with their next chip(k8l I believe?) to really get back in the game. Even with quads amd doesn't seem to be able to catch up with intel. They've lost alot of their enthusiast market(myself included) and I think it will really hurt them if they can't get the performance crown back soon. I hope they do tho, cuz competition is good for everybody.
