I'm saying the chip they're producing is much better. Intel will of course find new ways to BS people. Whether it's with them trying to make people think a new CPU is going to increase their internet performance as they've tried in the past or ramping up clock speeds while providing poor performance. I'm positive Intel will continue to lie, buy people off, influence review pages so they provide favorable reviews, etc. Intel will be around for some time no doubt but as I've said in the past on many occasions... you can only BS people for so long.
