Intel GamePC reviews the latest Pentium D, the 900, and concludes: "Perhaps given our low initial expectations for these processors, we actually are finishing up this lab report with a fairly positive impression of the Pentium-D 900-series processors. AMD's Athlon64 X2 processors are still a superior product, that's somewhat hard to argue against at this point. However, Intel has worked to address all of the major qualms we had with this processor lineup, and have delivered a far better product this time around. With a few clock speed bursts thrown in over the next few months, the Pentium-D 900 should have enough firepower to hold the fort until Intel's white knight (Merom) rides into view later this year."

"Why doesn't Intel go silicon germanium or tunneling transistors ?"

Patents they don't own and royalties they'd have to pay.
