Why is Intel unfair? Like AMD would have done their 50% price cuts without Intel putting the pressure on? . They're both the same, big companies, don't be hatin.

Perkam, Intel doesn't NEED to release a new one to compete with K8L; Conroe with some clock increases would have no problem competing. But since the success of C2D, they've decided on an extremely fast an aggressive course of rapid die shrinks and Mhz increases. Which is exactly what you want to do once you have a base architecture that's extremely sound and efficient.

Right now they've got momentum and they're making the "wheel" on the steamroller even bigger.

As for 45nm quad cores at 3.46-3.73 Ghz, i called this months ago
