Graphene Transistors @ 100 gigahertz

IBM is the king of marketing hype about their process technologies. The only thing they can do is come up with press releases about how great their technology is. Meanwhile, Intel continues to actually churn out real processors based on their tech. How many years ago did IBM claim to have HK-MG technology? How many processors have IBM shipped with this tech? Until it comes to market, I think IBM is just blowing smoke. Don't believe the hype.

Although Intel has generally held the lead in process technology they haven't always done so. In fact IBM/AMD were ahead in 2004 with their 90nm SOI process. Also the Common Platform alliance will probably have comparable expertise and more RnD budget than Intel does, but equally, IBM/Samsung/Sony didn't exactly manage to set the world on fire with Cell.

But right now, and for some time to come I agree that Intel=Win.
