IIRC the new Intel is truly double core, meaning 2 - or a joined pair of - die in one package, versus AMD's product-specific dual core die. If so then Intel are really price cutting as costs should be higher, although each die may be smaller reducing yield losses. But my big concern would be the heat. Anyone seen info on Intel double-D versus AMD dual-core re heat?
