AMD also enters the quad-core CPU market :

In what’s shaping up as a two-week burst of fast and furious chip news, Intel this week released its new quad-core Xeon 7300 server CPU, codenamed “Tigerton,” adding some competitive spice to this Monday’s highly anticipated launch of “Barcelona,” Advanced Micro Device’s first entry in the quad-core server chip market. And as if that’s not excitement enough for followers of the chip market, Intel is also expected to give the world a first look at its 45nm chip design “Penryn” very close on the heels of AMD’s quad-core launch, perhaps as soon as at the Intel Developers Forum on Sept. 18. The chip giant sent out invites Thursday for what it describes as “a BIG celebration for our tiny chips.”
Tigerton enters the server space as Intel’s top of the line Xeon offering. But some analysts speculate that next year’s planned overhaul of its entire server line means Intel’s Tigerton product is more of a fill-in than a major new addition. For high-performance system builders like Velocity Micro, the Barcelona launch is just a taste of things to come later in the year, when AMD will release “Phenom,” its quad-core processor for desktops, said Randall Copeland, president and CEO of the Richmond, Virg.-based company. Copeland expects that AMD’s quad-core family of processors will put them right back in the running with Intel, which has had the quad-core market to itself for several quarters due to reported delays in AMD’s Barcelona rollout.
