Spiders Fail to Sting Intel

Being an avid AMD fan, one would have assumed unconfined joy at the fact that the gurus at AMD have finally sent spiders sprawling into marketplaces. Sounds disgusting doesn't it? "Spiders sprawling..." how about we clearly list the same as the AMD Phenom - yes quad cored! But the sad truth is that its one of the few instances where the organization has failed to meet expectations. 2.2Ghz for USD251, with 2.6 expected in Q1, 2008, you'd hope that the latter would meet the hype established by their marketing department, which dubbed it as the "Ultimate Visual Experience." Has Intel finally won the battle? Is AMDs fate similar to Intels EPROM failure, and eventual exit from the same in the Grove era?

Reckon the aforementioned queries can be correlated to a Shakespearean act gone wrong in translation, but the bottom line is that AMD needs to meet the hype at the earliest if it is to overcome Intel.
