AnandTech has published part II (part I discussed here on OSNews) of their performance preview of Intel's upcoming Yonah. "We've updated the benchmark suite considerably, including modern day games and a few professional-level applications hopefully to get a better perspective on Yonah's performance. We've also included an Athlon 64 X2 running at 2.0GHz, but with each core having a full 1MB L2 cache, making the Yonah vs. X2 comparison as close to even as possible (not mentioning the fact that AMD has twice the advantage in this round, with both a larger L1 cache and an on-die memory controller, but it should make things interesting)."

AMD more or less bet their company on 64bit computing awhile back. They made a good bet and are clearly the leader. Now that intel is starting to catch up, it will be interesting to see what AMD retorts with.
The Opteron blew everything out of the water when it was released, what does AMD have hidden away in their R&D labs? Maybe an 8 core chip to compete with Sun's new processors?
