What do you mean by 'real' dual core chips? What features do you think are missing on Intel Dual Core?
Sorry -- I should have clarified that. What I meant was the Pentium D and current Xeon dual cores, which just have the 2 separate cores in the same package, talking to each other over an external, slow (compared to the cores) bus. To me, that's very obviously a slapped-together "we're getting out butts kicked" response to the rather more elegant AMD solution. And it shows, especially in the power consumption numbers.
