Default amd near death?

"Intel Announces A New Semi-Stepping for PIVs but look closer, and you can see preparations for a possible "There can only be one" price war, which to AMD would be a deathmatch."

deep linking is impossible on www.overclockers.com but u can find that story as +/- their first newsitem. seems like a very plausible scenario, judging the common info he is deducting it from.

not to be overly amd fagboy, but i would hate to c it happen like that. but if i think rationally about it, amd is in a pretty harsh situation right now. the pr rating has almost a 800+ difference between the soon to come top intel 3GHz cpu. if u look at top overclocks at www.vr-zone.com the fastest clocked amd is at +/- 2700MHz (i know, incredible) and the fastest clocked intel is at 4000MHz(or more, not even sure, but definetely 4000MHz).
amd needs a 3000+ fast, and that is barely enough to bridge the now existing gap. they can't even get the 2400/2600+ out at the moment.

what are your thoughts about this topic. try to not judge on your maybe optimistic feelings about amd, but try to go for the facts as they are right now.
