Sounds like they may NOT officially launch before AMD... otherwise, why say this? Talwalkar declined to comment on when exactly Intel plans to launch the Pentium Extreme Edition 840. But in a presentation at IDF, he showed off a Dimension XPS computer from Dell Inc. based on the chip and said the system would be available sometime this month. The Pentium Extreme Edition 840 has two processor cores, each running at 3.2 GHz. Talwalkar downplayed the possibility that AMD could beat Intel to market with a dual-core chip, saying that being first was not important. "This is not a race," he said. Rather, the launch of these first dual-core x86 chips is the beginning of a significant transition within the industry, Talwalkar said, noting that Intel currently has 15 processors in development that are based on dual-core and multicore technology. Following the launch of the Pentium Extreme Edition, Intel will introduce a second dual-core chip, called the Pentium D. That announcement is expected before the end of June. Also, it looks like only the $1000 EE dog will be launched soon, with regular Smithfield not launching until some time in June... which is when Toledo should launch, per CNet.
