Honestly, my theory above about a new substrate material is the best I have to offer. It's well known that most IC makers have been looking for an advancement in that area and it's likely to be the answer to the problem of Moore's law(which is less a law and more a theory). Beyond that I have no idea.If we're doing history lessons, Core was an evolution of the Pentium-M at the time. Would you venture a guess about where their next answer to AMD will be coming from?
You're thinking of K10, Bulldozer didn't come along until 2011, but your point is valid. This pattern of advancements has been happening for decades and will likely continue.And looking at things from a slightly different perspective, a rushed response followed by a more adequate one is what you always do when you get caught with your pants down. I mean, when Core hit, AMD had to regurgitate Bulldozer designs till they got to Zen. It's a pattern.
