Intel are the market leaders thus can leave some spare capacity in their chips, allowing more effective overclocking. AMD are chasing their coattails so their chips use all the capacity they can spare.
"You just let the machines get on with the adding up," warned Majikthise, "and we'll take care of the eternal verities, thank you very much. You want to check your legal position you do, mate. Under law the Quest for Ultimate Truth is quite clearly the inalienable prerogative of your working thinkers. Any bloody machine goes and actually *finds* it and we're straight out of a job, aren't we? I mean what's the use of our sitting up half the night arguing that there may or may not be a God if this machine only goes and gives you his bleeding phone number the next morning?" "That's right," shouted Vroomfondel, "we demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!" "Might I make an observation at this point?" enquired Deep Thought. "We'll go on strike!" yelled Vroomfondel. "That's right!" agreed Majikthise. "You'll have a national Philosopher's strike on your hands!"
The music is about the only reason I went to see this film; woke up one morning to find my stereo on and 'El Tango de Roxanne' (an excellent remake of the Sting classic) on the airwaves. Inspired, off I went the next day, and was dazzled by the whole shebang.
Granted, a lot of the tunes are somewhat insipid (I've consistently berated the remake of Lady Marmalade, and Ewan McGregor's version of Your Song is just frightening. But 'Roxanne' is beauty - reminiscent for some reason of Bond stuff. Wide in scope, with lots of harmony and contrast; if you've not seen the film, you should - if only for this tune... and, of course, Ms Kidman, and the crazy Bohemians, and the 'Diamond Dogs' sequence, and the 'Like A Virgin' scene, and the fact that Satine lives in an elephant (flashbacks to Les Mis...), and all that.
Apologies for the rambling, unpleasant, and poorly structured nonsense above.

Take your pick...Intel are the market leaders thus can leave some spare capacity in their chips, allowing more effective overclocking. AMD are chasing their coattails so their chips use all the capacity they can spare.
