This kind of argument just doesn't work. They have price competitive products right now, their boards are great for low-power HTPCs/file servers. If K10 is "old" then what do you call the Pentium 3-based Core 2? It's all old, AMD just didn't out-engineer Intel. You and all the others asking for AMD to just come out with a new arch are ridiculous. They don't have the money to rush development into new projects, and besides, you don't just engineer a new arch overnight. Their chips sell in OEM systems, and they still have a place in the market.
