Rough day for Intel

It seems like Intel has been having a rough year. First the whole AMD kicking their butt thing, and now today they have released two other pieces of bad news. Their top end 3.6GHz chips are in short supply, and they have officially announced that they will delay their 4 GHz chips until next year because they want to make sure they have enough supply during launch. These operational mistakes by Intel are uncharacteristic, but more importantly they have once again opened the door for AMD to take market share. This year could be AMD's opportunity to really turn this market from a Monopoly controlled market to a duopoly. For consumers sakes I hope they can pull it off.
