We heard Intel might consider bumping the quad core Clovertown FSB to 1600MHz from the current 1333MHz to match up with the AMD quad core Barcelona. Another strategy Intel is considering is to push forward 45nm Hapertown schedule to this year instead. Hapertown will have 2x6MB of L2 cache and 1333FSB. Intel is keeping a close watch on AMD Barcelona to plan their next step.

Looks like Intel is able to afford to play with AMD.

yeah, they definitely got the upper hand now...
but i dun realli fancy quad-cores..
hardware is improving too fast for most softwares to catch up with the optimizing race..

I think I still prefer a fast dual core than a quad core.

same here... too many cores no use for me now..
unless u are those who care very(over) concern abt "future proof", lol...

This is merely to ensure Intel keeps the performance crown. For consumers, the smart choice is still to stick with dual cores.
