Respital

Well i was browsing around newegg...
And i saw the new X3 (tri core AMDs).
Here is the link : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...name=Phenom+X3
Looks like they only have 3 models for now.

Anyone know what the point is of this "Tri-Core" ?
Intel is probably already far along on their 8 and 16 core processors.
Am i right?

Boo AMD.
Intel is the best for processors.
