You mean it outperforms the QX6700? That would make sense since, as you say, multi-threaded games aren't properly out yet, and it operates at a lower clock speed...

So with all this talk about Intel Quad Core's, what does AMD plan on doing? I havnet heard too much from AMD.
I think the new cpu's from AMD are called AMD K8L.
It will be released on mid 2007
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_K8L
I think it's stupid timing from Intel, AMD is preparing for the big hit, Intel just threw all it's cards at a very short period of time.
That's why AMD stays on top for a longer time.
Im not so sure if its a dumb move.. AMD's quad cores are better (spec wise. ) so if they would bring them out on the same time.. everyone would go for AMD. the only way for intel to make sales of it now, is for the peole who dont know much about pc's, and really want to get a pc with 4CPU's now =)
i know... it's a pretty narrow view of me.. but i think this is the way intel is thinking atm.
quad core? 4 separate cpu's? or just like the core duo, 1 cpu acting like 2..
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
no
it is 2 CPUs with 2 cores each...
