actually let Henri tell you exactly and it sounds like quad followed very closely by dual. digitimes.com Q: Could you just briefly clarify what we'll be seeing in terms of the K8L. The K8L core will be a native quad-core processor, but I assume there will also be dual-core products based on the K8L architecture. A:. Our plan is to have both dual-core and quad-core K8L-based processors within the same timeframe. The K8L development, from the ground up, is a quad-core development. In the server space, we believe that in the same way the transition from single- to dual-core was fairly rapid, the transition from dual-core processors to quad-core parts could also be fairly rapid. At the same time, we're confident that with all the advantages of HyperTransport and enhancements in both the core and the architecture that we're offering with our next generation of processors, that again Intel will be forced back on the defensive, from a performance perspective, because of their lack of scalability. Clearly, we are anxious to show the world what the performance of a real quad-core product can do.
