For its part, AMD, which will not ship its own quad core
range until mid-2007, has put out the spin that Intel's quad-core
solution is really just two dual-cores "taped together" rather than a
four cores on a single die chip. However, if the solution delivers the
performance that consumers want, they probably couldn't care less.
What users will care about is the price and
the release of a quad-core solution from Intel could push down its
dual-core prices, forcing to AMD to follow suit, and for consumers
that's good news.
Clovertown and Kentsfield - bring them on Intel.
