| Five reasons why you want an Intel chip....
1. Intel finally woke up to what the rest of the world already knew, and followed AMD's lead with an onchip memory controller.
2. Intel illustrate that they can't get rid of all the heat their chips generate by inventing "Turbo Boost", where other cores get turned off in order to allow the core that is running to dump its heat more quickly
3. Intel followed AMD by ditching the FSB for a HyperTransport-a-like bus.
4. Intel finally finds a use for it's 45nm fabs - weren't they already using 45nm though?
5. Intel follows AMD again, by adding a 3rd level cache.
6. I got bored at this point...
