Advanced Micro Devices’ chief executive said that his company was planning to commercially release processors with new micro-architecture in 2008 after making pilot production in 2007. The introduction of the new micro-architecture may significantly boost performance of the company’s microprocessors, which are to face increased pressure from competing solutions by Intel Corp.
“We’re going to introduce a really new architecture that will work well with our partners for the best performance. We’re going to start sampling it at the end of 2007 and roll it out in 2008,” said Hector Ruiz, chief executive of AMD, in an interview with BusinessWeek.
Earlier it was projected that in 2007 the Sunnyvale, California-based chipmaker will introduce instruction extensions to the AMD64 micro-architecture and will bring-in HyperTransport technology in 2008. But recently the company said in a statement that AMD’s “next-generation architecture for servers, workstations and desktops” is planned to debut in mid-2007, and is expected to offer better platform performance-per-watt ratio as well as enterprise application performance.

AMD will have hard times ahead. I hope they don't vanish, for underestimatiing Intel Core 2.
Yup, then they could be called IB&MMD. *shrugs* Seriously though, IBM buying AMD could be a really good thing for the market, seeing that they already work closely together anyway... slap in ATi as well and you could have some really interesting things happening.
Not only can Sun survive but also kill everybody else in the server market.
I doubt intel will be releasing another generation of processor in 2008 when their just about to laucnh conroe which i see will be sticking around for a few years yet. Obviously it'll be updated etc to impove performance etc. bit like the small AM2 Update.
Dont count them out or judge them on something they havnt even released yet. Both intel and AMD have solid platforms on the market.
AMD still has an AM2 refresh due in about 9-12 months in the form of the Brisbane/Tyler/Sherman core updates. There's a decent chance that this will bring performance of the Athlon line roughly to par with Intel's Core 2 lineup. I suspect there will be a return to the GHz race for a while, perhaps a year or so, until AMD's K8L and Intel's Wolfdale lineups really find their footing. Neither side faces a dull future, I suspect.

saying an am2 refresh is going to put it on par with the conroe was just as silly as when you guys were touting the performance gain when it was getting ready to be released. which we all know now, am2 gave a negligible increase in performance. amd right now is a year or more behind intel. when they finally switch over to the 65 nm process intel will already be on the 45.
Intel and AMD are so out of step with each other, could you imagine ATi launching something to compete with Nvidia's latest offering some 2-4 years after it is released? Intel and AMD are fighting a long-drawn out war that'll probably last a decade if not more.
ROFL, the same story of always. This will last till the worlds ends
The Point is we really dont know how much is in the old redisigned P3 architechture, it could end prematurely like the P4 with its "Netburst" (remember Intel announcing a P5 in its roadmap, promising 6Ghz speed?).
Ill wait till 2008 before making assumptions on Intels Chips.
The Conroe architecture isn't "better" than K8, it "crushes" the K8 by anything between 20-40%. AMD has NEVER had such a consistently large performance advantage over any equivalent-price Intel processor before.
Now, Intel's T6600 Core 2 Duo is roughly equal (in some cases, better) than the FX62. The FX62 will be FOUR TIMES the price of the T6600 at the time of it's release.
So who's won the CPU war this year? You tell me.

or until microsoft starts designing their own chips and puts them both out of business lol
