ITS a marketing nightmare. Intel Dual cores multi task faster than tricores at 1/3 the cost. ( Efficiency)

AMD tricore is an Intel Marketing Dream come true. If AMD doesn't up the freq. on quads . Intel put one out that cleans their close also . Thats why thr duals are coming out first . SO the reviews sites can compare Duals to PHENOMS Its looking worse than bad.

AMD can sell them because they are not marketing the chip to AT forum readers. We, the forum, must account for less than 1% of the buyers of cpus. If they're priced competitively and marketed based on the "awesome spider platform" and the gimmick of having 3 cores, then they should sell like hotcakes.

As long as the profit margin is there, they stand to make some good earnings, they should never "dump them"
