According to the article, Intel has plans to turn the performance table around with AMD. From the article: 'Finally, it looks like Intel has learned from its mistake and secretly prepping a surprise for the rest of the industry.

WIPROism
GE has a cow. You take 49% of the milk.
DELLism
Intel has a Goat. Samsung has a Camel. Buy milk from both and sell it as Cow's milk.
IBMism
You have old stubborn cows. You sell them as pet dogs to unsuspecting small businessmen.
MICROSOFTism
You have a cow. Force the world to buy milk from you. Spend a million dollars to feed poorer cows.
SUNism
You have a bull. It doesn't give milk. You hate Microsoft.
ORACLEism
You have a cow. You don't know which side to milk, so you sell tools to help milk cows.

You have a donkey. People think you have a 100-year old cow. If someone finds out, that's his imagination at work.

stuff that might happen.
"...secretly prepping a surprise for the rest of the industry"
uh, hate to burst your bubble, but I got this nagging suspicion that somebody from AMD reads slashdot.
"What does slashdotting mean?"
"You've never heard of slashdot?"
"I know it makes websites not work."
I'm impressed. I take it you upgraded to the Oric Atmos when you decided it was time to learn Perl... ;-)
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
The funny thing is that AMD is planning on releasing Quad Core chips in Q1 2006.
Well, I've got a processor here that goes all the way to eleven cores!
