Dear J3pflynn:

AMD has its version of dual dual core dies looking like a quad core CPU, 4x4. It could also be called a quad core CPU. Difference is that Intel stuffs all four core's needs through one FSB and AMD feeds their four cores with four memory channels and 4 HT links, two each from each socket F+ as the third of each connects the dies together. The latter will scale much better overall on most heavy duty workloads.

So Intel won't have a lead on AMD going to pseudo quad core as both will come out in the same month, November 2006. However AMD will have a true quad core CPU die months before Intel's true quad core CPU die. And AMD will be first to pseudo octal core CPU with real advantages long before Intel's pseudo octal core CPU. But, Intel will always have these delays due to their ancient FSB designs.
