I honestly think dothan verse a64 might be darn close mhz for mhz. although I'd give a slight edge to amd because of thier ties with IBM to help them get it right

Yeah, I think Intel feels like they're "behind", since the Athlon64 has been such a big seller.Originally posted by: Swanny
I think Intel will, just because they have more R&D and they need it more.

Yea seems like ANOTHER AMD idea Intel is going to have to use. I don;t think intel had and plans on doing it anytime soon, but with the Athlon64 and Opteron doing so ell they need soemthing, and the POS Flamethrower P4 is not cutting it.

I was under the impression that AMD had plans to go the dual-core route long before intel unveiled their plans to abandon the P4 platform and go with the duallies.

The first dual-core Itanium, Montecito, has taped out for introduction next year (I'm on its circuit design team).

Hmm...Itanic eh??? :beer:
As long as you get them for FREE it's all good.

While I don't know who will produce the first dual-cored processor, I've been told Intel's code name for the dual cored Prescott is "Smithfield" or "SMF" for short (anyone else with an Intel connection, feel free to start digging).
Considering the current Prescott's heat and wattage problems, I'm not sure how they're going to cool a dual cored version though.

Avalon, before you go around saying nobody but you has a brain, you should probalby read Duvie's thread on hyperthreading. It's stickied somewhere, or at least it was. He proved there were very large gains from enabling HT on a P4C.
In any event, if the new cores are P4-based, HT *will* be a nice feature. If they are based on the P-M, then HT will not make much difference.

I know, that's why I was surprised when I got the message from the person I know. I figured the first dual core desktop from Intel would be a Desktop Dothan, but if Intel wants to be first at something then maybe a dual cored prescott it the quickest way to go.
