Intel double crashed in a full swing, AMD disqualified
Smaller core gives 4 times more Gflops at the same area or power.
Back to the future in 2012: Please note that half of small core is essentially 486 with 1,2M transistors in 65nm, though 150 times higher clocked then in original 1000nm implementation !. Simply, at lower geomeries bigger core shrinks become more and more inefficient in all terms, in each reincarnation . Naturally, smaller cores shrink better in the lower geometries. Will VIA be a competitor in some 5 years?
Finally, a truth on bad hardware.Seems that Intel's Montreal high gear F1 drive caused terrible self destruction. AMD was disqualified in this race, but stayed complete. Obviously smarter choice, for now.
Personally, I believe that Intel will brake when switch into 45nm. Its low leakage technology is so fragile, just like Intel's racing car.AMD delayed its efforts to see what will happen. I think AMD will only optimize its technology in 45nm. There is no sense to do it in 9 months, provided Barcelona will start only in Q4.
Only Intel drives you without the problems !
