That is only because AMD knows they can't lose.

Oh, wow, can't wait to see that.

It'll really show all the brain-washed fools at home that AMD is superior!

Then again, I've never used an AMD, and I could REALLY be being brain-washed by everyone here!

And if Intel refuses-bye bye. It's a Win-Win situation for AMD.

This is the best marketing move in ages from AMD's side.

Publicly challenge Intel to a duel of which AMD knows it can't loose.

If this will show, I'm taping it.

Like already said

If they accept....they loose
If they decline....people will wonder why.

And since AMD is saying it's all in good sports and for clarifying it for the customers once and for all, Intel seriously can't win this one if ya ask me.
