I honestly think this will end up being better for consumers in the long run. I think it's in everybody's best interest that AMD has at least five years of of "advantage" over Intel so that AMD can build up a "war chest" and be more entrenched when Intel finally reemerges.
While AMD has made great advances in the DIY space, they still need to gain more ground in mobile, OEM desktop, and enterprise. Ideally, AMD needs to get as close as possible to controlling 50% of the x86 T.A.M. in order to ensure that their current success isn't just a temporary salient that can be rolled back just as quickly.
I'm sure everyone here as enjoyed the spoils of the new competition, personally, five or six years ago, I didn't expect to have an 8, 12 and 16 core mainstream CPUs available at the prices for which they're currently available. If we want this trend to continue, and this competition to be a permanent fixture of the PC market, then I think we should be in favor of AMD having a few more years of success at Intel's expense.
