Will Intel's New Processor Be a Game-Changer?

Chris-
You hit the nail on the head. Although these chips are absolutely faster, they don't make the end users life noticeably different. There might be some value in making virtualized services run faster (I don't know how true that is), but this only affects a small portion of the market.
In addition, a good percentage of gamers are transitioning from PC's to console's. The game quality is comparable, and a console costs a fraction of a new PC.

The article is correct that Intel will keep its lead in the semiconductor space. I just question whether it's a market investors want to be in at all.
