I don't think many professionals would agree with this view of cryptographic competitions.

Again with the wording... SHA-3 is not an epic battle for blood and honour. Acting as if a NIST competition is a public fight is rather disconcerting.

Technically true, but only now -- four years later -- desktop processors were released supporting the SHA extensions, and none of these are from Intel so far.
