My expectation is that Intel's new products are definitely going to narrow the gap with AMD, and in some cases may even close the gap.
More Quotes from Nathan Brookwood:
Multi-core is the new megahertz. If you want more performance rather than ramping up the megahertz, now it's all about ramping up the number of cores.Nathan Brookwood
AMD is clearly ahead on performance and per-watt power advantages, which more and more customers are sensitive to. And for the first half of this year at least, AMD's lead in these categories will accelerate.

Intel seems to have kicked the megahertz habit. It's probably music to Steve Jobs' ears.

The original theory was Netburst would show increasing performance benefits with increasing frequency. It didn't work quite the way Intel had anticipated.

But here the performance per watt is dramatically better than the industry standard and that to me is an adequate motivation to consider Sun. The cores themselves may not be very elegant, but what's relevant here is whether they'll do the job companies need them to do. From what I've seen Sun plans to deliver that.

When they did the Pentium M, they were under tight constraints on power. Now, desktop and server are facing similar kinds of constraints. It's not so much battery life as it is noise, just the physics of cooling a really hot, small chip.
