awww shucks, you're going to make me blush :-)

on-topic, the AMD speculation is very interesting.

especially given their announced roadmap push to get a 25-fold (2500%) improvement in power within the next six years.

sure, Intel might have The Big Marketing Machine, but they've even admitted to losing their way, especially in mobile.

let's not forget who's usually first-to-market: AMD.

• first processor to reach 1GHz.
• first 64-bit architecture.
• first multicore processor.
• first GPGPU, first APU.
• #2 in TOP500 (Cray* Titan)

Pretty innovative!

the trifecta I'd like to see be first in PTK's NRE, (cross-)licensing, and purchase-order line?

AMD, ARMH, and AAPL.

perhaps even in that sequence.

GLAL,
