I think they will, but only through more die-hard technical people. Intel released their half-assed, half-way-there version quickly so that they could gobble up sales more quickly but with older technology involved. AMD will bring the true quad-core innovation this year. Intel also has one on the way but I think it won't make it in until next year.

I plan to get a new computer (possibly even a laptop) next year. All AMD, of course! I am waiting for quad-core at least.
