Competition is a prime motivator for innovation.
If Intel were the only CPU and chipset maker in the market, CPU and chipset technology would likely be years behind what it is today. But fortunately, Intel is not the only strong player.

And over the past year, VIA has been the competition that has driven Intel to innovate in the chipset market. This roadmap shows what we believe AMD's future plans to be for their CPUs and chipsets.
