It's very unlikely that Intel would win, ... But once Intel does release that chip, AMD will have the challenge going forward of demonstrating that its dual-core technology is superior to that of Intel, while Intel will be saying to its customers, 'If you want a dual-core processor, we've got it.'

They clearly are at the tail end of what has been a pretty painful period for Intel. They had to tear up their road map and scramble to find new products to drop into the places where the old products were going to appear.

After the second half of the year, the race between them to consume less power will get a lot closer.

If you're asking 'How do I get more done with the same amount of electrical power?' this is one of the few solutions out there. And I think there are plenty of companies in this bind that will see this as manna from heaven.

Intel gets some bragging right here: we do something ahead of AMD for a change.
