The Consequence of Waking Up a Sleeping Giant: Intel Roadmaps Inside @ Anandtech.

Quote:


	It takes time to realign a huge corporationsuch as Intel, and wecanguess that the recent roadmaps have been theproverbial "calm beforethestorm". Intel doesn't normally make a lotof noise about majorchangesin the public as that can lead to reducedsales of currentproducts.However, with AMD making some inroadsagainst Intel and thelacklusterretail reception of current 915/925chipsets, that may not beas much ofconcern right now. Anotherpossibility is that Intel wasworkingfeverishly on some new productsand they are now confident enoughoftheir release dates to add them totheir roadmaps. The recent corporate shuffles in Intel must have made the companymoreawareof their consumer position or more lean to deal with it.Eitherway Intelis still the 800 pound gorilla; we don't need to lookmuchpast theirlast quarters earnings in relation to AMD's to verifythat.If youthought Intel was aggressive before their regrouping lastyearthis yearought to be impressive - to say the least.
