Depends on the expectations. I don't like a lot the Intel series, neither,  
especially since the Pentium and its big step further in monolithic and  
complex instruction set design, and would have preferred smaller pieces  
organized in network. But on the other hand, if you note multimedia and  
game, and specialized instructions for this target, was a wish from many  
ones, to these ones, Intel is just fine and is the opposite of a mess.
