Check out the new 65 nm processor

AMD owns!

I wasn't talking about any new chip designs, merely porting existing or already planned designs to 65nm.

Intel's Conroe chips aren't expected until 2nd half of this year. Amd's Socket M2 (now renamed AM2) chips are due out before then. Although they are supposedly going to be 90nm tech, some 65nm production will probably be possible so who's to say that some of the top end versions won't use that technology, just like Intel have produced some top end P4 chips using 65nm technology.

If I was Amd I'd be planning exactly that, but I wouldn't be publishing anything just yet.

I see what you are saying now lynx. Sorry about the confusion. My statements were just about 65nm.

If AMD, even 3-6 months after Intel (or even a bit later), releases 65nms chip more powerful than Intel's 65nm chips, that would be great for AMD; Intel could not whine that their 90nm crap chips were just an exception to their rule of dominance with respect to performance.
