Yup... which means the entire 5 years of horror with P4 was a complete pipedream, but a wildly profitable one.
Just the fact that Moerom / Conroe is P3/6 architecture shows that they shafted consumers for years, and just now are putting performance back into the picture.
I just read two corroborating articles that Intel is releasing a Xeon dual-core processor, 32-bit only, with a projected sales lifecycle of 6 MONTHS. Give me a break.
The processor's name is Sossaman, if anyone's interested. Just another reason to NOT buy Intel.
It's true that AMD is moving to a new Socket for their top-tier offerings, but they won't stop supporting S939 for at least another 2 years.
