Don't know, I don't think so, think Intel'll keep improving and prob keep prices level to entice folks to update CPUs every other year or so, AMD is supposedly looking to outsource chip development, which may be a plus as they haven't really done anything since BullDozer, which wan't a big leap other than the additional cores, PileDriver was just the Dull Dozer on steroids (pre-OCed CPus to try and battle Intel).
