AMD to pass Intel in growth by 2007 says Forbes
”Analysts are also predicting that Intel will not have the ability to catch up to AMD until Intel releases products on new 45nm fabrication processes, which isn't expected until 2008 claims Forbes. We reported earlier that AMD is transitioning its Fab 36 in Dresden to mass produce its next generation processors (both dual-core and quad-core) on a 65nm process. Intel on the other hand, has demonstrated that it has successfully started working on 45nm technology but its main production will be 65nm through to 2008.”
This is an interesting topic. Intel isn't sitting idly by while AMD makes strides in technologies, of course, and has often been an industry leader. The impact of such advances by AMD are clear, from lower CPU prices to more competition from Intel to much more. We won't have to wait all that long to see whether or not this pans out.

Wow, the battle of the giants. I don't think anyone should make assumptions just yet, I mean Intel and AMD are still pretty close. Besides, Intel is not just going to give up, keel over and die just because Forbes says so. They are still making huge technological strides. One thing Intel should watch out for is their business plan, if they hold back the 45nm processers it might just come back to bite the in the rear end.

I'm not that surprised by this information. I used to be a hardcore supporter of Intel, but AMD now has it's iron grip on me and I have begun to sway. AMD has proven it's worthiness through it's ability to spew out raw performance benchmarks in test gaming rigs, and every time the results almost always surpass Intel. Plus, this news of a QUAD-CORE chip sounds AMAZING! I have yet to jump on the dual-core bandwagon, so I may have to delay my personal computer building until this new tech comes out. I know this is a ways off, but I'll have saved up enough money by then so that I'll be able to afford it! Keep up the good work AMD! You're slowly but surely turning the tides into your favour! (I'm living proof!)

good for AMD they were the underdogs it would be nice to see minds from intel and amd create some product think of the amazing thinks they could dish out

Interesting article about the future. But AMD could hit delays and intel could open a new chip plant quicker. Plus the market may be slow to accepting new 45nm chips or quad cores. Also since AMD is smaller in size then Intel it make sense that it will grow faster in reference to its own size. Read this blog for more info...[url]http://www.processorblog.com/2006/01/19/amd-vs-i

Quad!!! Where have i been?!?!? wow. And yeah,looks like AMD is taking it's place, but let's hope that intel keeps up enough to keep them on their toes. Otherwise AMD is going to becom stale like intel did and then we'll see this play out all over again.hmm....of course, on the server part of the check, Intel has Itanium coming out in 08, or 09.mabye that will sway the market a little. Dang, feeling bad for intel ;(. Mm....i'm really not thinking that itanium is going to be enough to conquer Quad core. I'm still trying to grasp the concept. Wow, that is impressive. Don't have the money, but i'm so buying one....

I'm certainly not counting Intel out by any means, though I love AMD.I seem to recall a somewhat similar scenerio with Nvidia and ATI, whereas Nvidia lost it's leadership after experiencing a nine month (or so) delay due to production problems. ATI passed them up, but within 18 months, Nvidia had re-claimed the top spot, and has stayed there.At any rate, it's certainly interesting to follow the competition between Intel and AMD. This can only mean good things for the consumer.

I love AMD and I know it is well appreciated in the gaming world. I still see the value of intel in the small business community though..... I am very excited about what this will do to the prices of the relatively more pricy intels.

AMD is still faster in gaming but Intel beats them on just normal applications as usual and jsut slightly on price.
