So why is it

That AMD cannot seem to make a competing processor now? They kicked intel's *** all over the place with the Athlon series (in comparison to the P4's), now its like they've fallen on their faces, and cannot make a batch of silicon with four native cores on it to beat even a core2duo. WTF mate?

The pendulum swings hither and fro ... AMD will probably catch up / pass Intel , and will be passed again.
at least we are all hoping

I don't really feel like having these discussions anymore. Nobody ever listens. Believe whatever you want to believe.
