You should realize Intel's business model is not sustained by high-performance, high profit margin components, but by decades old legacy support in hardware.

Releasing information on Sandy-bridge is not some brilliant tactical/strategic maneuver. Sandy Bridge is here. Release is just a few months away. Bulldozer release is probably at least a year.

Have you had a real conversation with JF-AMD? Read his posts? "Can't talk about it/Don't know about it/Customers care only about performance&wattage." Trying to coax information from this man is harder than getting Glenn Beck to admit he needs round the clock psychiatry.
