Quote:AMD and Intel have already kicked the dual core revolution into high gear, but the overall market still needs to be properly defined, and all the product positions filled. This is still an emerging market, and the Athlon 64 X2 and Pentium D processors illustrate this quite clearly. Intel offers a lot of value in the Pentium D line, but the top-end 3.2 GHz clock speed is certainly not going to win any game benchmark awards. The Athlon 64 X2 has the clock speed and performance ends covered, but the high retail price certainly turned off some buyers. It was inevitable that one side would move into the other's niche, and it's hardly a surprise to see AMD offering a lower-priced addition to the Athlon 64 X2 line.
