They took the same approach with C2Q's......fire a couple of crap-2-duo's together and launch them as a quad-core

"Look everyone.....we've beaten AMD to a pair of DC's on one die....awesome!"

Meanwhile, back in AMD labs.....some of the techs were designing BARCELONA and not skimping on it either.
