AMD's CTO Phil Hester says Intel messed up
There is a great interview with AMD's Phil Hester over at CNET news that is worth taking a look at. Phil talks about the problems over at Intel and also what the ATI/AMD merger is going to mean for AMD. This is worth a read for all enthusiasts and shareholders.
We had a period of time where it (Intel) just screwed up. I mean, I don't know how else to say it. It finally has responded to what we did roughly two or three years ago, but we've got our next generation coming out. What Intel actually is doing in my opinion is fixing a screw-up. If you look at the microarchitecture of the Core stuff, it looks a lot more like Pentium III. NetBurst (the underlying architecture of the Pentium 4) went off the deep end in terms of deep pipelining. It's a bad machine organization. So they've had to go back and fix things that we never broke.
