They announced the release on my birthday! Personally I'm still sticking with dual core, but to have such a chip would be amazing. Depending on how things go I'd actually like to move onto the Fusion... if they can get the power requirements down that is. Currently takes 750 watts to run! (talk about your electric bill going up). Intel's new quad core only takes 500 watts to run... so being that prices are about the same for either (you can actually get an AMD setup for somewhat less, which has the potential to either go with Fusion, or dual quad cores by mid 2007), Intel is the better choice for right now... but I'm playing the wait and see game. Probably going with AMD by Mid '07 though since they'll be on 65nm and hopefully dual quad cores :-D And yes I know that AMD already is on 65nm but the 4x4 that I'm reffering to is not. Woot!
