Please note the date on this article and have a good laugh reading it... I did!
"We have been looking forward to this particular announcement [of Conroe] for some time," said David Schwarzbach, a division marketing manager for AMD. "We remain supremely confident in both our product architecture and road map, which remains unchanged."
AMD was sitting pretty up high on their thrown thinking they are untouchable, but Intel was here at the bottoms making a trojan horse. They thought it was innocent enough but when we got it inside, boy was there a suprise. The 65nm Core2's just overclocks like a dream. You can make a $200 chip run as fast as a $1000 chip with a $50 cooler. AMD needs a new Architecture and 65 or 45 nm technology to compete. They need overclockable, lower power consuming, affordable chips. Where is that in their roadmap? 4x4 isn't the answer because it uses the same chips, just 2 of them. That's a stupid approach.
Sorry for my opinions, I used to be an AMD fan but im also not going to buy something from them where there is something much better avaliable for the same price.
