Will next-gen AMD beat the Intel Conroe?

A natural question to this development is "Can AMD match Intel, and maybe raise them?" To beat or not to beat, that is the question.

Digitimes has just starteda five-part series with Henri Richard, AMD executive vice president and chief officer for marketing and sales. Not surprisingly, that's basically the first question the interviewer asked.

And AMD basically answered, "No, we won't."
