Who will stop Intel?

After the difficult Pentium 4 era, Intel has experienced a renaissance with the Core processor architecture, an era which corresponds to the migration of Apple to their architectures. Since Core, the company has rolled all over the competition. Transmeta threw in the towel, AMD keeps posting losses, and VIA now fears its processors will be subject to competition from Intel's ultra-low-power platform, ATOM. While this competition causes a problem of staying afloat and not losing a fortune by selling its processors at a loss, Intel continues its forced march towards innovation. In two years, they have rapidly decreased their engraving from 90nm to 65 and are now manufacturing at 45nm, meanwhile AMD has not even begun to produce mass qualitities of processors this size. The figures speak for themselves. Intel, today, produces 100,000 45nm CPUs every day! By the third quarter, more than half of their production will be this size. Obviously, this advance does not suffice. Now that this production technique is deve
