2006 WILL BE quite the interesting year on the desktop CPU front, with the year starting out firmly in AMD’s grasp, and ending in Intel’s. If both sides execute on their CPU roadmaps, and that is a huge if we believe it will be a fight to the end with Intel having the lead by at least a hair when all is said and done.
That’s quite a prediction but will be interesting to see. I know I will be picking up an AM2 socket CPU when they are released because I want to see DDR2 on that platform. Regardless, AMD is now extremely serious competition to Intel, so time will tell. Check out the posting at The Inquirer.
