AMD faded away?

AMD aren't dead in the water so to speak but Intel have reclaimed the number one position by (for the first time in a while) having a CPU that is clearly ahead on performance/overclockability and competes well on price. I suspect some of the problem for AMD stems from their purchase of ATI and a bit of a loss of focus.

If I can then I prefer to buy AMD because it is the smaller company and deserves support (to keep Intel vaguely honest if nothing else) but at the moment Intel chips are where my money would be going.
