Re: Isn't it really counterproductive in the long run for Intel to push dual-core before they are freed from the FSB bottleneck? Nope. Intel has plenty of production capacity to burn up and marketing will tell you two sounds better than one. Besides that Core Duo already provides respectable performance on a 667MHz FSB. At 800MHz, 1066MHz and 1333MHz the FSB will be even less of an issue on single socket systems. Multisocket systems will be more bottlenecked but any comparison between single- and dual-core CPUs on multisocket systems will show that dual-cores will still perform far better than singles.
