Λ--literally??

Yes. I have a 4yr old and a baby's momma whos a little hornball lol

AMD is doing what they have done in the past. Building chips in a logical way.

Instead of pasting 2 dual cores together (not necessarily a bad thing..) they are building a TRUE quad core on a single piece of silicon.

With 4 cores on a single piece of silicon comes lower (average) speed. The processor binning has to be quite different than Intel.

IMO 4 cores on a single piece of silicon (instead of pasting) is a more logical solution. You re-build the architeture because you're doing something completely different. Its logical. Whether it will work out is a debate in itself.

AMD's used to be comparable (and sometimes faster) than the intels at lower clocks. Lets hope they can keep doing it.
