No doubt Intel could have risen it but no competition=no party so they just focused on kents first and on penryn lately.
I mean, and I fear, AMD can't just win this and I see only 2 scenarios:
1) Phenom is great ->
Intel releases higher clock cpus, lowers current cpus' prices and, once more, AMD is just up for low-mid target competition (and only if they can price a new architecture cpu low)
2) Phenom is just a bit faster then K8 (which atm I fear is the truth) ->
Intel goes ahead with its penryn roadmap and the gap remains the same
Yep, the 3Ghz new extreme CPU using 65-75W also perfectly shows it.
