The Technology Behind Dual Core CPUs @ PCStats
"In this article, PCSTATS is going to focus on both company's versions of this technology, how it works, and the kind of performance boost you can expect from it. Currently only certain of AMD's Opteron server-class processors are available with dual cores, but very shortly AMD will release the Athlon 64 X2 line of dual-core desktop processors. Intel has taken the opposite approach, already releasing the 'Pentium Extreme Edition 840' desktop dual-core chip, while its 'Pentium D' and dual-Xeons lines are not far behind."

"With the technology in place the burden falls upon the shoulders of the partner companies to make the products which the gamers are dying to get their hands on. This means not only CrossFire compatible motherboards, but also video cards. Unlike Nvidia, ATI does make its one cards, but the partners do play a very large role in product marketing and development."
