65 nanometer chip from AMD: The war continues...

If you're a fan of AMD, and it's a poorly kept secret that I am one, then you'll be pleased to read the latest blurb in CNET regarding new 65 nanometer chips from AMD:

This is good stuff, and helps AMD to catch up with Intel who rolled out 65nm process over a year ago.

Netting out all the process changed, the new chips will draw about 30% less power and will be cheaper to produce. This means AMD can compete more heavily against Intel. All this, of course, is great news to chip purchasers.

More performance, less power, less money...gotta love it!
