Good to hear all this "much better than expected" "faster ramp", "flawless
execution" talk.....

Looks to me like you're highlighting the fact that Intel took full advantage of their process lead to cash-in (akin to AMD and DX11). What has affordability got to do with process execution? Last I checked, 32nm hexacores were available for sale in 2009. More cores on a die, bigger cache, etc. thanks to process shrink. Nothing to sniff at considering the latest news.
