I never know when to take you seriously....

Ofcourse they will, they dominate it now without dual core (not by performance, but by marketshare and brand recognition)....They will dominate it in certain apps until AMD launches their answer to it....

doens't matter if AMD launched first they only have a very small percentage of the market and they refuse to spen money on marketing. For that they will be destinied to always be second fiddle regardless of actual product performance

How is this a paperlaunch?

paperlaunch = not available for a while time to buy it at all.

nop... I think future A64 DC 2,4 2x1MB L2, same price range that future Pentium XE DC.

And I think something like an A64 DC 2.2, 2.0 and 1.8 2x512Kb L2, same price range that Pentium D 3.2, 3.0 and 2.8 respectively.

So, you don't think Intel will be producing and selling dual cores? If no, then it can be considered a paperlaunch. But it's known that they will be coming. Second, the public has been given cpu's to review. Thus, I think you have your definitions incorrect.

If you read my whole paragraph and just not snip the first sentence, server/workstation market is much different than the desktop market. Intel EE dualcores and server dual cores will have HT. These are apples to apples to AMD's server dual cores. "I think" - no concrete facts, paperlaunch by you.

It isn't even a launch, much less a paper launch. What part of Intel Dual Core Performance Preview Part I: First Encounter doesn't compute in your heads?

Kind of reminds you of AMD's centrino killer... I haven't seen much of it unless I've just been shopping at the wrong stores.

I dont think the turion is considered to be a "centrino killer"....lower wattage yes but beat the centrino which is more then just a cpu I dont think so...

I do believe they list pricing for it at www.amd.com...could be wrong though.

It isn't what I think, it is a fact. More, it isn't released oficially right now. It's simply a preview. Really, it is less than a paperlaunch. It is nothing, vapour right now.

Well, as I said, less that a paperlaunch.

Exactly, you've said: They will comming. They aren't here.

EE dualcore is for desktop (high end -stupid end for price, I'd say-, but desktop), not workstation/server.




Intel Dual core workstation/server... well... sometime at... 2006. (AMD dual core workstation/server -Opteron DC-, this quarter).


And future A64 DC 2,4 isn't DC workstation/server, It's desktop. Third quarter, it seems.

opteron dual core may be out this quarter...I think an article on it last weekedn. AMD said DC first in server/workstation market then dasktop. I think they had to do this t omatch wind with Intel. They need to get desktop dual core out as soon as possible...
