They're releasing a true quad-core, called 4x4. I beleive that its planned release date is the second quarter of 2007, according to this link:

However, if I know AMD, they're gonna be extremely expensive, by which time the Kentsfields will have been out for a while, and the prices will have dropped.

I think the new cpu's from AMD are called AMD K8L.
It will be released on mid 2007

That's why AMD stays on top for a longer time.

You can sure AMD will find a way to "bounce back" as the expression goes. What AMD has done all along is focus on performance not clock speed. This is why AMD has always been known as the "gamer's choice" for cpus.

i know... it's a pretty narrow view of me.. but i think this is the way intel is thinking atm.

I think what everyone is getting confused about on the initial introductions of Quad core models is their main purpose will be for. The AMD Quads will be mainly seen on "server" type not gaming boards. If you want a cpu that can handle a heavy load while multitasking like seen on a server then you will want an AMD Quad. Intel made their mistake thinking "We had the quad core models out first!" until AMD comes out with the ones that actually work!

on Intel!

Core duo is not 1 cpu acting like 2, it is 1 cpu with 2 cores.

Pentium 4 with Hyper-Threading (HT) are the ones that act like two cpu's
