*30 seconds later*

*cheesy boxing commentator voice* You know Stan, I would never have believed it if you had said it to me yesterday, Intel absolutely crushed, actually bursting into flames and exploding in the first 10 of round one. It's just incredible...
*cheesy boxing co-commentator voice* Your right Mike, but you know what this means? It means we are seeing a new golden age of CPU bouts!
*1st cheesy boxing commentator voice* Absolutely Stan! We haven't seen anything like this since... since Mouhammad 486! Unbelievable... Well ladies and gentleman, that wraps up tonights coverage of the CPU BATTLE ROYALE, thankyou all for tuning in, signing off from the city of sin, Las Vegas, I'm Mike Ruch.
*cheesy boxing co-commentator voice * And I'm Stan Dardsandpracticescommission, thankyou again, and goodnight!

Wow, I have a feeling this is going to get dirty, but it won't be Athlon 64 x2vs. Pentiium D. It is supposed to be Opteron x2 vs. Xeon D (if that's what Intel decides to call it). My guess is that Intel busts out Hyper-Threading and totally pwns AMD in the face.

Well Considering the X2 support HyperThreading code. so I am sure they will need something besides one standard to push ahead (An I used both type of processors).
