Intel rocks the boat, poop deck becomes the sick deck

Intel has been giving AMD a trashing lately and the only way for AMD to stay afloat is the ridiculously low prices of their chips( you can pick up an Athlon 6000+ for as little as 40 quid), whereas Intels Core 2 Duo range start at about 130 euro for the E4400. At just 1.8ghz you may laugh at this tiny chip but that laugh is shortlived, because it blows AMDs lowest value chip out the water. With AMD swept under the rug for the moment Intel has set its sights on the graphics front. Thats right, look out Nvidia and Ati, the processer king is coming and its about time too, Nvidia and Ati have gotten lazy with each other latley, more so Nvidia with its new GTX280, which Ati cant seem to catch.One word, Larabee. What is that you say? Well find out next week.
