I usually support the underdog and hope Barcelona beats the Intel Quad cores.

I am skeptical however this will be the case, as there have been long delays in getting it to market indicating development problems or performace problems.

Add to that AMD will not be releasing fully fledged mainstream Barcelona CPU's immediately, leads me to believe they may be under performers and they are buying more time for further tweaking.

Lastly there have been no real performance preview releases or leaks, which is often a effective tool for creating Hype, is this because of poor performance one wonders.

AMD have been getting there asses kicked over the last year and a half, I am not sure that will change any time soon.
