    Or bring the 6-core Opteron to Desktop?

    When will 6 core from AMD be available? What does their roadmap suggest?

    Late 2009. Servers only and most likely very expensive.

That's not far from the $284 list price of the Core i7-920, but AMD rightly argues that the additional cost of an X58 motherboard and DDR3 memory puts the Core i7-920 in a different price category. Meanwhile, the 920's closest competition may be the Core 2 Quad Q9300, which sells for around $240-250, although one could make a case for the similar but slightly lower spec Q8300.
    This is not that "rightly argues" since AMD and all of their fans are talking about Ph2 compared to Q9550, Q9400 and Q9300. Then that's WTF the price should be compared to, not i7. I visited a bud with Q9550 running at 4GHz, with a $46 3rd party air cooler and $119 mobo with Cross Fire. If i7 isn't the performance comparison, it shouldn't be in the price comparison as well

    Oh well, I'll wait for the Q9550 price cuts at the end of this month Too bad Intel doesn't have enough competition to ship the i5's sooner. I'd be on it like a Chicken on a June Bug,

    For that we should thank BOTH (AMD and Intel) companies!

    Are you suggesting that in the past there has been a brand new architecture server processor which was cheap?
