AMD tweaks Intel's nose at Forum

Advanced Micro Devices buzzed crowds from 5,000 feet above the Moscone Center in San Francisco, home of the Intel Developer Forum, organized by its chipmaking rival. However, the winds are fresh in March, and moments after the AMD TURION 64 MOBILITY message was finished, the AMD skywriting faded away into the blue.

Huh?
What did they use to create that message in the sky? I have never seen a message created like that.

planes, smoke and timing
I think, it involves a 4-5 planes flying parallelly releasing short bursts of some kind of smoke.

Right
Cause you know they reverse-engineered those AMD64 Intel procs and the HyperTransport bus.

AMD and Intel
It's true that AMD reverse engineered x86 from Intel, but as of today they have innovated their own work. I'm sure that AMD still reverse engineers parts of Intel procs just like Intel reverse engineers parts of AMD procs.

I wouldn't call AMD a clone of Intel anymore though.

I figure one of these days Intel will find a way of getting out of the P4 with out looking likes it's running away from it, but until then Intel doesn't really have anything over on AMD.
