So, five years ago was the introdution of the GHz. AMD was the one to win that race. So Intel didnt want to lose, so they will release the dual core cpu first! HAHA!!! So, Intel isn't that bad of a company now, huh?! They may be expensive, but they are first. Dell, Alienware, and some unknown companies will be releasing their computers with the dual core. So tomorrow, 4-18-05, the first Intel dual core chips will be shipped. I do believe that this will not only be the first dual core Intel chips, but the first dual core chips altogether. http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20050415_194829.html
