Fully agreed mate but that doesn't mean they can slacken off on older instruction sets. Intel's strength seems to be that it can do both where AMD only wants you to see how good benches with new instructions run to hide their weak(er) side.

It would be the same thing as to say how well it runs on Windows 8 while most still run Windows 7 for example.

I don't mean to turn this into an AMD vs Intel fight as we've had enough of that in the past but it's an observation that cannot be ignored.
