Sounds like Chinese whisper
For servers, it comes down to price/performance/power. I haven't been
watching very closely in recent times, but it seems Intel are making a
strong comeback on that front. Anyone have links to (clueful) comparisons
that take all three into account?
For the general case, I haven't seen any. Fo

How does that relate to home PCs? If you're looking at 64 bit then you
can expect your average Intel machine to be hotter and noisier than your

Is this correct with the new Core Duo II stuff?

If by size you mean performance, maybe, but IIRC Intel still produces
something close to 80% of the x86 market.
