Even if nobody wanted the new intel chips over the new amd chips, intel would still sell more by virtue of their manufacturing edge they have over amd. Intel survived Athlon 64 on sheer marketing and manufacturing alone. Intel also advertises, so they have that brand name zing, while AMD... are f'ing retards when it comes to advertising their products. AMD could seriously take Nvidia to task if they would just start advertising Radeon graphics as a brand name... instead Nvidia is still the brand name in the mind of the uninformed.
