Intel Slips In Core 2 Quad Q9505
Intel's newest quad-core socket LGA-775 processor, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 (s-spec: SLGYY) adds to the series of upper-mainstream Core 2 Quad processors based on the Yorkfield cores. With a clock speed of 2.83 GHz and a bus speed of 1333 MHz, it matches Core 2 Quad Q9550. The difference here is the L2 cache amount. Q9505 features 2x 3 MB of L2 cache. It supports every other feature in the series, including Intel VT support. Started selling in Japan, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 is priced at JPY 22,770 there, while it's expected to be priced at around US $210.

AMD Preparing ''Thuban'' Desktop Six-Core Processor
AMD is planning to create a desktop implementation of its Opteron "Istanbul" monolithic six-core processor. Codenamed "Thuban" (named after a star in the Draco constellation, which means Dragon in Arabic), the new processor will be based on the socket AM3 package for compatibility with existing and future desktop core logic. It features six cores, 9 MB of total cache (6 x 512 KB L2 + 6 MB L3). Thuban is aimed to make for AMD's high-end desktop processor, as the company prepares to face competition from a near-complete lineup of processors based on the Nehalem/Westmere architectures from Intel. It is expected to be the posterboy for AMD's "Leo" high-end consumer desktop platform that succeeds its current Dragon platform.
Some of the key components that make up AMD Leo platform are the upcoming AMD 890FX and 890GX chipset, companion SB800 series southbridge chips, and members of AMD's Evergreen family of DirectX 11 compliant graphics processors. On the software front, AMD will give its Fusion and Overdrive utilities some big updates. The SB800 series southbridge chips will feature native support for SATA 6 Gb/s and USB 3.0; connectivity is further enhanced by integrated Broadcom MAC Ethernet interfaces. While the Leo platform is expected to launch almost simultaneously with the 8-series chipsets, the six-core Thuban processor on the other hand comes later. It is due only in Q3 2010. Thuban will have come out an year after its enterprise implementation in the form of Opteron "Istanbul".

Broken In
As you all may know OCs have already breached the 7GHz mark with the Phenom IIs. The 6GHz is just playing catch-up by Intel. Here’s a video that shows breaching the 6.5GHz mark: *www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB0JodKgZ0A&feature=channel_page

^^ BTW AMD TWKR has reached 8Ghz !
Intel never goes 6Ghz in Quad core

Thats awesome news! Any good links? The TWKR was always meant to be insane!

AMD team did 6.8ghz max
But some stupid OCing Legend from JAPAN did 7.6Ghz max stable , 8 Ghz booted but not stable enough to run the 3dmark
But TWKR is basic engineering sample AMD officially not released any comments on TWKR . Remember TWKR is 2Ghz processor
OCing from 2 to 6.8ghz is world record

OMG.. 8 GHZ.. that's awesome.. links please.. proud to be an AMD owner..

what's with the pic of the girls?

Bond, Desi Bond!
now, this is trouble for AMD.
core i5 750 costs 35$ less than phenom II x4 965
has TDP of 95W (140W for PII X4 965)
Goes to whopping 4.13GHz
at stock speed either on level of beats PII X4 965.
Now, AMD can't take the core of 965 beyond 145W and that clearly means troubled days ahead for AMD.

Yes, and AMD will hopefully strike back with 6-8-12 cores in Q2.
