But even then, IBM has been making such chips and the XBOX 360 CPU is an example.Intel is just a tough competitor. They were full force into the P4, and AMD was playing to beat it. But when they finally and narrowly did beat the P4 and the failed NetBurst architecture it turns out Intel had a whole second line of processor research which came up with the P-M and ultimately the C2D.AMD couldn't compete with the P-M or its successors. It seems like the whole development with notebooks making up more than 50% of new PCs sold and low power chips much more interesting took AMD completely by surprise. No back-up plan like the P-M there.With the acquisition of ATI AMD ATI is once again competing. They have a lot of tech now which can make for some very interesting products. My only fear is that AMD simply doesn't have enough imagination to pull it off. And Intel meanwhile is frantically researching its own 3D chips.Check out the Barcelona <a href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-First-AMD-K10-Barcelona-Benchmark-Results-are-Out-56597.shtml" target="_blank">benchmarks</a></blockquote>
