It is truly shameful what has happened to AMD in the past few years.
It's not about products anymore ; it's simple economics : money and economies of scale.

2005 was a year were AMD had a superior product , yet , financially it was Intel's best year in the firm's history.

It ultimately boils down to FABs and process size.AMD doesn't have the money to maintain itself in the process race ; they spent it on ATI.
