AMD isn't a step ahead
I have many friends at Intel (In Arizona Fab Plants) and I asure you they are not a step behind AMD. In fact ask AMD who likes to reverse engineer chips and rename them. Intel has a strict buisness plan that allows them to make money on each chip set. When the demand dips, notice how a new chip is released. I have heard Intel has multiple next generation chips available now, it just doesn't make sense to release them at this time when there is no competition for them.
For me? I still remember the days when Intel compatible didn't always mean 100% compatible, companies like Cyrix and AMD. These days I think they are totally interchangeable but I still like having Intel Inside just like some people like to wear nike's because they can.
