We can but hope, nay prey that 'phenom' isnt such a damp squid as well.
Intel have announced price cuts to come later in the year which will really put the squeeze on amd. They have to get the performance crown in cpus as they cant keep up the price war.

Nvidia could deal amd quite a blow here, the only use of the 2900xt is that its quite good performance (8800gts ish) but is cheap. nvidia made a large profit this last quarter, if they drop there prices then amd's good price/performance advantage will go out the window.
