AMD’s Fab 36 Fully Converted to 65nm Process Technology
Advanced Micro Devices announced during the most recent teleconference with analysts that its Fab 36 had been fully converted to modern process technology and also said that the yield of those products was high enough.
As a result, AMD's first 65nm quad-core Opteron processors code-named Barcelona will be introduced in August or September, but will only run at 2.0GHz, whereas faster parts are projected to become available in Q4 2007.

I've tried both systems at stock settings and oced setting for my core 2 vs amd x2.. and my amd beat the core 2 in almost every area.. my core 2 does things faster, but my amd does more at once at a constant pace where as the core 2 doesn't..
