Gelsinger: Intel's is the "right way" to do quad core. Lower cost vs. monolithic solution. 20% greater yields, 10% lower costs. Direct upgrade. Millions of units before competition responds. >50% performance increase over dual core.

Quad core Demo vs. Opteron:

Low voltage parts used (900MHz slower than dual core Xeon). Finished 20% faster. Power at 380W.

From before:

Intel machine dissipates 370W of power. AMD machine dissipates 444W.
