I think AMD just called out Intel!! AMD included the slide as a joke and mentioned that Imitation is the greatest form of flattery!!

AMD and Energy Efficiency don't belong together unless you are talking about the HD 48xx series compared to Nvidia. Phenom = powerhog although Deneb does look very promising.. now the question is, when will Deneb finally hit the shelves and will it get stomped by Nehalem.

no, what they MEANT to say was:

Intel took our idea and actually made it come true! This is something we've been trying to do for years but just can't lol

QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) is Intel's version of AMD's HyperTransport, which has been (is) a highly successful core-to-core communication technology. Of course, QPI is exactly the same, it is twice (?) as wide as HT, but the bandwidth provided by HT is already more than enough.
