This is the cycle with Intel, though. They innovate, blow out the market, and then stagnate until AMD or someone else comes out with an architecture that's a category improvement on whatever Intel's offering.

This looks like they're turning every nob to 11 on the current architecture to try to get something that they can sell until they can come up with whatever will succeed the Core line.

This time it isn't AMD which gives them trouble but TSMC. Intel doesn't lack a good architecture but a good fabbing process.

AMD just has a good architecture and are using good fabbing facilities.

Intel can have the best architecture in the world but that won't matter much if they are stuck with their fabbing at the current 14 nm process.
