New Like what?
Intel is stuck on CPUs. They're trying to branch out, but:
Communications? So far, big time money loser, and they're the new kid on the block.
NOR Flash? Profitability varies from good to bad, and the big money future is NAND.
PDA's? (XScale) PDA sales are small and shrinking.
LCOS? Got canceled.
Ovonyx Unified Memory? Hasn't happenend in 30 years, and I doubt it'll ever happen.

Intel will stay top (CPU) dog for a while simply because of their fab capacity, but it'll be much better for us, the end users, if AMD can get to 30% of the MPU market.

That's very funny, a fly marrying a bumblebee!
