"Intel invented the first microprocessor, the 4-bit 4004, in 1971. Since then the company has gone on to become a corporate powerhouse, growing almost as fast as the transistor count in their CPUs. However, the company has posted some disappointing earnings results recently, including a 38 percent drop in profit for the first quarter of 2006, and has been losing marketshare and mindshare to its rival AMD, especially in the high-end, 64-bit computing arena. Otellini thinks the best cure for the company's blues is an old fashioned corporate restructuring. The CEO announced the plan at an analyst conference today in New York City."

Yeah, I to think Meron and Cer... errr. whatever, will own whatever AMD got out at that moment, but I'm quite confident that AMD won't just sit there either, and they have talented people in house.
AMD has beaten Intel in price, performance, dual core design, 64 bit and in the later time also desktop cpu power consumption.
The Yonah is good but it's still only 32-bit, Meron will fix that and get even less power consumtion, putting Meron on top for a short while, but nothing says AMD can't beat Intel in their own game again.

When AMD have better power savings I will go back, for NOW Intel is where its at in the notebook market, why do you think Apple use them.
When AMD improves I will go back but my next laptop is a Inte Merom Duo. I made the mistake of buying an AMD 64 on this Ferrari, its a windtunnel that melts like a cheeseburger.
