It's an interesting time in CISC processors. With fabs having to spend exponential amounts of money for incremental gains in performance and power savings, a smaller company like AMD may be able to make a chip that's 90% as fast, at a much lower price, which I hope it does because it's good for customers on both sides.
It would be nice if AMD would catch up. Their biggest problem currently is their massive debt.
Let's see.

Heuristics are bug ridden by definition. If they didn't have bugs, then they'd be algorithms.
