I think that there was an X2 demo in Japan or Taiwan late in 2005. The photos were posted here a few times.
What will be more interesting to see is if AMD responds to the Pentium 4/D price cuts. My guess is that they won't bother in their midrange products as they have the products that people want.
I'm looking at an HP 4400+ X2 desktop right now for about $1200 that comes with 2 GB of memory (expandable to 4) and is generally nicely configured. I'd love it if AMD drops the prices on the processor but I don't think that they will on that particular part. Or the 4200 or 3800 as they appear to be very popular right now.
BTW, I do recall getting laughed at in March when I posted that Intel will start a price war (I read it from some site). It appears that rumors can be true.
