I'm sure AMD want's to send a response as soon as possible.

I'm speculating. I think AMD will push out a Quad core in some form(maybe "glued together" duallies)
Not "glued together", if AMD remains true to form. AMD's objective is to maintain a technical edge over Intel. In my opinion, this precludes an improvised, sleight-of-hand multi-core implementation, such as Intel has been accussed of in its dual-core implementation of Smithfield and Presler. Even in Kentsfield, Intel seems to be putting time-to-market above engineering a native quad-core part.

I hope you are right. Would be better to just wait till you can deliver the real deal.

I hope you are right or it will be intel Blue for quite sometime in here and my household....
