...Answer: Intel
Mainly because in technology-time terms, it's a one horse race... If the grape vine is correct (we'll use the grape vine as a reference so as not to break my NDA), Kentsfield will be shipping next month; and 4x4 will be a looooooooong time after.
OK DAAMIT have big ideas for the die layout and interconnects in 4x4; and a shiny new HyperTransport bus so it's likely to be pretty quick; but Intel might well be moving on their 45nm discreet quad cores by that time (with octo not far behind once 45nm yield is good), and then there is closer comparison. The fact Kentsfield is 2+2 doesn't seem to affect its performance...
I've had three in various machines over recent weeks
- and while I'd love to be able to give loads of details and benchmark scores and things like that; I'd be breaking my NDA so I have to stay
for the most part; but I am allowed to say they're f**king quick; and I'm not sure I'd pass up that performance waiting to see if anyone else comes up with the goods
From what I've seen my next rig will be a Kentsfield with a G80 (again NDA I'm afraid so no info!)... The choice of board is going to be a tricky one though as the two I've got in mind are both fantastic!
Anyway, getting back to topic...
