"The thing I find most interesting in [the] battle of silicon supremacy is just how unbelievably thick (or perhaps slow) AMD has been lately. For the entire life cycle of the Pentium 4 family, AMD was far ahead. The company made the best processors in terms of performance with cost efficiency in mind. However, it had a nice 1-1.5 years of time span where it could've evolved or innovated enough, but it didn't. Granted that AMD is still leading the desktop and server markets in terms of performance, it's not the point. The point is the lack of evolution and innovation from AMD."

"The important thing is, Intel has beaten AMD to notebook dual-cores, and more importantly, the notebooks with Core Duo processors are already shipping."
Actually AMD released a mobile dual core processor before Intel though it was not based on 65 nm design (ie: AMD 64 X2). Another significant point is that AMD released a mobile dual core 64-bit processor first. The current Intel Core Duo processor (codename Yonah) is only 32-bit capable. Intel is delaying releasing Merom (mobile Core Duo with EMT/64) till Q3 of this year.
