NetworksWith Intel increasing its technology lead, will AMD become more creative.
On the heels of Intel announcing breakthroughs in transistor design, Taiwan-based motherboard makers indicated that Intel should be able to increase its technology lead over AMD, and in order not to further endanger its market position, AMD should look to develop innovative solutions instead of competing head to head with Intel. In the first quarter 2007, Intel plans to increase the production ratio of its 65 nanometer (nm) products to 80% and minimize 90nm products such as the Pentium D 800 series to less than 5%.
