I would agree Intel takes a few trips to $17-18
AMD is just kicking arse. The impact of AMD will be everlasting. Intel has to move over.
Intel has the new Core Duo 2 chips out for desktops which consume less power, put out less heat, and also put up impressive numbers when benchmarked. Giving AMD something to worry about...AMD has a shabby mobile line-up for products giving Intel the upperhand.
Being in the tech market for more then 10 years I KNOW Intel can produce good chips, but the problem for them is gaining the lead and keeping it. Intel has at times put their products and pricing inline with AMD for great competition, but ohh soo many times have AMD been the better buy with more horsepower. Consistantly offering top notch products.
