TG Daily interviews AMD: "Intel's new architecture is too late" TG Daily interviews AMD: "Intel's new architecture is too late"

Intel is starting to get a bit worried about AMD, which apparently made advances against Intel in most sectors this last year. All this despite that Apple has shown its first Intel based Mac.

Part of why AMD is taking business away from Intel is that it provides the best buy in a number of areas. In particular, it sells server based on wattage. Higher wattage processors run faster, but take more cooling.

Intel should have seen this coming. After all, for many applications, absolute MIPS is not as important as other attributes, and, indeed, two processors at half the wattage can often outperform one at the higher wattage.

One interesting fact is that AMD is doing this despite being a year behind Intel at 65 nm.
