Well it looks like the Intel Pentium D is now "OLD NEWS"...

First of all let me sort the facts: As soon as Core 2 Duo hits the market, it will...

* be the fastest x86 processor (both single and dual core models)
* make the Pentium D and all predecessors look like antiques
* be the clear choice for performance users despite its rather expensive price
* outperform the complete Athlon 64 family (X2 and FX) in all areas, including gaming, where AMD has traditionally been very strong
* consume less energy than other standard desktop processors
* transform the whole Intel platform from an energy-hungry beast to a reasonable solution that is competitive in terms of performance per Watt

Untill Athlon release their next big monster too. And thus the balance and competitiveness is restored. Hey is that even a word?!

yea, core 2 duo is kicking ass. I'm sure AMD will have an answer out soon, though. and I'm curious if/how they're going to leverage the technology they bought with ATI.

I don't believe AMD will have an answer to the Core Duo anytime soon. The next big AMD thing will be somewhere mid next year I believe. I hope AMD's new ownership of ATi will make the latter suck less.
