NetBurst microarchitecture from Intel!

AMD may be awful and appear to only serve to keep Intel from having an monopoly, but it also helps Intel in another way. It keeps Intel from being lazy. I caught lunch with an old colleague and he suggested that NetBurst was an example of a bad, marketing-driven design from Intel that occurred in complacency. I know that half of the AMD campus in Austin is now rented out to other businesses as the company itself goes farther and farther down the tubes, and, yet, we all need AMD.
