i have found that Intel guys dont give a monkeys, they go where the speed and stabilty is, if they think that for one second AMD is better, they will move.

More loyalty is held on the AMD side of things i believe, the Intel guys just want to 'drive' the fastest car, whether that is Ferrari or Porsche is irrelavent for them.
Yukon Trooper just doesn't get it, he is like most of the other fans and refuses to believe that AMD is capable of overtaking intel here.
It was only a few months ago that nvidia fans were singing from the same songbook.
AMD were as quiet as a mouse before the 4 series launch and it's exactly the same here except for the hardspell leaks and Coolaler but they were silenced pretty damn fast. Not a peep out of them since.
Nehalem hasn't been paper launched for no reason. Yes it looks good but AMD don't need to take the performance crown they can do it with price just like HD4870 has done.

We all know only a tiny percentage of cpu's sold are EE's so that's where AMD should slot in quite nicely and I believe intel knows it.
AMD can make their money in the server space where intel still can't compete above 2 way.
