In a comparison guide (thank you Toms Hardware) there is a small article comparing the newer intel and AMD chips.
Like none of us ever saw this coming:
One thing that should please all enthusiasts is the fact that this is the first time ever that both sides have decided to go with the same RAM technology - dual DDR400 in CL2 mode. So it's curtains for the arguments of many gripers who have been waging a low-scale war against the Rambus platform for the P4. Rambus is done. End of story.
Moral of this story? Don't put royalties on your hardware and hence drive up the price.
