A CNET pricefight. The article conclusion begins with this sentence: It wasn't even close.

I like the "pins up" statement about Intel's duals.

"After reading the round-by-round account of our dual-core desktop CPU prizefight, it should come as no shock that AMD's Athlon 64 X2 chips are the runaway victors here, laying out the Intel Pentium D and Pentium Extreme Edition 840 chips pins up."
