What's this about handing out information costing a bunch? They could just put it on their site.

Patience will reap benefits to whoever waits. I know that AMD has something up their sleeves, in terms of the R600 and especially this 45nm CPU. AMD usually can fill in the gap that Intel leaves and the prices are almost always cheaper than Intel's, but of course you have to wait a lot longer, but to me I think it's worth the wait and I will always see both hands before I jump into a $1500 2 1/2-year future-proofed investment.

All well and good but what are intel going to be bringing in 2008? 35nm? 8/16/32cores? stacked wafers? photo-transistor based chips? hyperdrive? teleportation? air freshener dispensers?
