But is this 45nm in the same way that AMD moved from 90nm to 65nm, or is there going to be a performance increase as well? If there is, AMD are screwed.
i think they will increase the performance...b/c what AMD did was not so wise it only lowers the elec that needs...but hey i still love AMD...Advanced Micro Device...it...sounds cool...intel sound just like intel...who cares they all great... Really sometimes i hope both companies and work together...same with nvidia and ATI...it'll be world dominating...but there will be some disadvantages
if nVidia and ATi joined, they could charge whatever they liked, it would NOT be good for business. This is why the monopolies commission exists, to prevent businesses from growing so large they have a complete market dominance. Unfortunately Microsoft managed it all by themselves.
