AMD's got plans to go quad

We know Apple just annoucned they're going Intel, but AMD would just like you to know that by the time Apple's moved over to x86 in 2007, they're planning on having quad-core CPUs on the market—and we ain't just talking dual-core Hyperthreaded devices. Later plans include scalability to up to 32 processors in their devices, but since most applications still aren't multi-threaded and won't take advantage of such systems, we're hoping they've got some tricks in their bag for making faster really mean faster.
