Intel vs. AMD Horserace in 2006
2006 is going to be quite a year for the dynamic duo of Intel and AMD leaping ahead (cough) each other.
2006 dawns with AMD is a commanding lead in the server space in terms of power use and computational ability, they simply are in a different class than Intel's woeful offerings. Intel uses double or more power, and routinely gets stomped in benchmarks. It is so bad that AMD's server Dual Core Duel, handily won by AMD, was greeted with a yawn because it was obvious that in a fair fight, Intel didn't stand a chance.
