It still looks like AMD has something exceptionally powerful on
paper, and finally a true competitor to Intel's Core as we peer through
the glass, nose pressed against the surface, but until we get hold of
one to test all bets should remain off. Intel's 1333MHz FSB quad core
CPUs and eventually 45nm Penryn are due in a similar short term
timeframe. So until the silicon tumbles into place, judgement should be
reserved to the realms of fanboys as to who will win the next battle in
the CPU war.
