Intel 45nm Processors Waiting to Clobber AMD's Barcelona?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the surprise-processor-clobber dept.

DKC writes "Tech ARP's anonymous source claims that Intel is merely waiting for AMD to release their Barcelona processors before they clobber them with their 45nm die-shrinked processors. In fact, Intel is already producing these 45nm processors at one of their fabs in Arizona. AMD and Intel are in for a long and tough battle ahead. Should be an interesting one though."

    For the longest time, I've been a fan of AMD. However, I've yet had a chance to buy one of their processors; my last computer was a gift (Pentium 4), and since then, the only computer I've built was for my mother-in-law, who insisted on having a Pentium because an engineer at her work said they were the best. Now that I am in the market for a medium performance, low power/noise computer, I just can't look away from Intel's offering. Frankly, I'm holding out a bit hoping that AMD's next gen are close enough.
    At this point I might still buy an all AMD computer if the ATI open source drivers are good enough. Anyone know what the deal here is? I read a while ago that AMD was "going to" open-source ATI drivers, but haven't heard anything since.

    I don't know why this bothers me so much, but it does.

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
