actually it was Intel mobile general manager and V-P, Mooly Eden, who called Smithfield a 'donkey' so it is official Intel terminology for it

but my point is that Intel probably has options open if AMD wants a quad core race
What makes you think AMD is racing anyone ? Dual-Core and Quad-Cores occur on customer('-centric') requests and they are not for 'bragging rights' which Hector 'doesn't give a damn about'. Sorry to break it to you but Intel is just an irrelevant sideshow here. As to a hypothetical Intel quad-core mcm, at what power rating and what clock speeds will such a mythical beast perform at ? Sorry to break even further bad news to you but P4 ain't taking the quad-core bus, at least not competitively.
Party's over for Mr Netbust I'm afraid.
