Great news (hope it continues), Intel has rested on it's laurels for the last 5 years. It's borderline absurd how difficult it is to get an Intel CPU these days, what with the random product segmentation and price gouging for features like more PCIe lanes and ECC RAM. Whichever brand you prefer it's important for AMD to succeed to keep everyone honest. I hope MAD improves on the GPU front so that Nvidia is kept honest as well.
