"I think this is something that is not a given at all for AMD."

Correct. Quad core would only be if K9 turned out to be Prescott-like challenge. It would be intended to maintain their market in servers and workstations. If AMD makes inroads in those, it would be critical to maintain that position in case of disaster.

This only speculation on my part.
