I've been waiting for AMD's Barcelona quad core cpu's for a couple years now. They are slated to start shipping in August for servers and late Sept. or Oct. for the desktop versions name Phenom. But the preliminaries from what my favorite tech site has dug up show some early promise. These are supposedly 25-40 percent faster than core 2's.
