Intel has earned the right to lay it on four-cores thick.

The chipmaker today officially released versions of its four-core server and PC chips. The appearance of the Clovertown and Kentsfield processors gives Intel both a marketing and raw performance edge over AMD, which doesn't plan to fire up its own four-core gear in earnest until 2007. So, those looking for the best of the best will turn to Intel for the time being.

Hmmm.... I wonder if there is any consumer program out there today that can actually use 4 cores.... plus that and the fact that that CPU itself costs a bit over 1 Grand... that and they are at a lower clock speed than the highest Core 2 Duo from Intel.
