Unexpectedly, we are set for the mothers of all battles of the ultimate leadership as the stage goes on four undistable processing cores engines. The consumers will benefit at the end.

this is going to be sweet :D.. you can hear the war drums. AMD and Intel are finally going to a real battle! :P he he.. cant wait hopefully we'll see a preview of the K8L at the end of this year!

Indeed, it will be a battle, a huge one actually. Though on another note, I found it funny that AMD had the nerve to criticize Intel's way of doing things (i.e. claiming that their design is "native"). I mean, does it really matter? Every design has it's ups and downs. Whether you use a MCM design or facilitate a monolithic approach, then what difference does it make? They're no less "true" than the next. Besides, Intel's only pumping out their 'Kentsfield' processors just so that they can put some pressure on AMD for the time being. Once they get their 45nm production under way, then that's when the real fight will begin. From that point on, Intel will begin using the monolithic approach, or should I say 'native', lol.
