Little article on Dothan based chip for mainstream desktops:

Wow, nice find.

Imagine a dully with 2 multi-cored CPUs w/ HT.

Having a box that can handle upto 8 threads at once would be insane.

I hope we see some of this stuff for the desktop in 2k5. I can't wait till 2k6 or 2k7.
 
Yeah, I think there's a lot of promise in this architecture. However, many things can still sour the deal later down the road. Maybe Intel will charge too much for each chip, making dual/multi core systems unattractive. Or maybe the clock speeds will remain too low, resulting in too little single-app (heavy game) power to be interesting. Intel may also magically fix Prescott's heat problem... again making the NetBurst core interesting.
