Mike Magee has an article out called "AMD fails to capitalise on technology wins". It mentions some of the things Stroligo's been talking about for quite some time.
AMD's PR and marketing team needs a swift kick in the butt, don't you think?
"AMD hasn't announced publicly any 90 nanometre products for three months. AMD's explanation is that the products perform "exactly like the 130 nanometre processors they replace" and go in the same sockets, so an announcement wasn't important."
[...]
"Intel's Prescott at 90 nanometres runs slower and needs up to 25% more power than the Northwood it replaced. But the AMD Winchester is 84 square millimetres compared to the 130 nanometre 145 square millimetre "Newcastle" core, and consumes only 67 watts compared to 89 watts. The Prescott, on the other hand, is 112 square millimetres for a chip that can consume 103 watts."
