[] Add to that the obfuscation that Intel deals in; it's rebranding and new logos, its reluctance to manufacture a true consumer level dual core processor ( all Intel core duo processors are multi-core, the two cores cannot see or communicate with each other...Intel itself admits it does this because it is easier to manufacture and costs less).

Obfuscation eh? Just last week in a previous thread about Core Duo, I
called you on a similar remark:

Intel chips are not true dual core; they are two separate chips fused together. and they cannot see or communicate with each other on the die. They can only communicate by going outside the die through the Northbridge chipset,

and pointed out to you that the cores in Core Duo communicate via the 2MB
on-die smart cache. Making such a similar statement and suggesting that Intel
would admit otherwise seems rather disingenuous to me. First hit:

This isn't the first time you seem to have gotten things ass backwards in a
convenient sort of way. Back on Jan 21st in a thread about Smithfield and
Presler processors you said:

AMD processors are true dual core, have independent dedicated L2 caches
(Intel is shared, despite what they "say")

Both Smithfield and Presler have independent dedicated L2 caches... Paxville
too IIRC... and it is the mobile Core Duo that has the shared. That you were
aware that Intel has implemented shared cache makes the latest two statements
by you seem even more disingenuous.

Yes, I am anti Intel. I am pro AMD.

The latter isn't a problem, the former becomes a problem when you are willing
to forgo intellectual honesty.
