I agree

I am a hardcore AMD fan...but it's been clear that the past couple of years they have truly lost the plot.

I am still staunchly sticking to my AMD guns in machines I build, mainly for the glee I get by thumbing my nose at Chipzilla, but I freely admit that if you simply need the most CPU power you need to go Intel.

AMD is really on the brink...they can't afford to misfire anymore with chips that don't keep up with Intel. I think the next couple of years will be exceedingly interesting...either AMD will execute and gain parity with Intel again (dare I hope for a performance lead over Intel ever again?), or AMD will no longer exist as we know it.

...which leaves us, where? Hoping that the new Via core turns out to be even more magical than it is? Hmmm...

A bit late...

First, the AMD lost the confidence by killing the 939 socket and leaving out in the cold all the fresh P4-Athlon converts (including myself).
Now, the only thing I want AMD alive for is the competition on the cpu market.

PS. AMD could change the name Barcelona for more appropriate 'La sagrada familia of Gaudi' - something being built with similar success.
