Intel Bloomfield
While the bloomfield is still a little over a year away the plans already exist for it. It seems to me like an AMD killer. It's a quad-core, runs at over four gigahertz per core, allows for multiple multi-threading, has an on-chip memory controller, and a cumulative eight megabytes of L2 cache. While the cache isn't unexpected, the memory controller is. After all these years, the memory controller has given AMD a leg-up on Intel in memory performance. It looks like they'll be equals at the beginning of 2008.
Will AMD be able to counter Intel's new lines of processors?

Yeah, I just don't see any plans yet. However, it does stand to reason that they have a year to come up with a counter-attack. At least Intel shows us their plans early. :)
Hehehe, if AMD getz off their ass and starts planning, they may have a chance. :P
I think that Intel finally found something that would truly help them get where they wanted to be! Back on the throne of Processorland (Yes, thatz gay I know)
nah it's fine; your concept is very right. Intel has come to the forefront now.
I am not sure if AMD is going to be able to come up with a way for their processors to match and excede Intel's for a while. I know they are going to try, but what will their efforts bring them?
Perhaps AMD will lean more to the Server/Workstation business. Maybe even the Mobile for a while. Intel seems to be dominating desktop processors for the time being.
I doubt it, if I were them, I wouldn't want to give up my hold on desktops, laptops, or servers. Desktops are prolly the #2 income for all systems w/AMD processorz in them. Then laptops are #1 (just a hypothesis)
amd needs 2 gain their mojo back and stop the idiotic intel from gaining popularity, if intel wants 2 b "budget oriented" then they can have the n0obz com-ps, we spend more $ anywats :)
AMD's main source of income is through desktop processors. However, somthing that should never be forgotten is how much smaller AMD is than Intel. Intel has much more access to technology and a much larger budget. Their employees alone outnumber AMD's by a factor of 8. It must also be acknowledged that Intel's newest processors are very well designed and appeal to performance and price.
