Not so. Intel will work out ways of taking advantage of it. Do you
recall some years ago they got various sites to incorporate special
routines in their HTML code that would somehow check whether the comp
running it was "Intel inside" and if not, would display a message saying
something like "This would be much faster on an Intel processor".
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
