I can't comment on the Intel CPU design, but their core technology has been
extraordinary. They've been the principal driver of Moore's Law the last 5 years, I
feel. Their use of compressed GeSi alloy to induce uniaxial strain in the p-channel
transistors, along with continued improvement in n-channel performance, then
integrating metal gates, has really driven performance to levels previously
unanticipated.
