Dual Core CPUs start shipping

Forgot to post this, but hooray, several companies are shipping dual core CPUs from Intel.  I saw an ad for Dell today in the Money section from one of their systems.  Appartently, each core is hyper-threading enabled.  I didn't see about whether they have support for the x64 instructions or not.  AMD is expected to introduce multi-core CPUs in a few weeks.  Wow, 2005 really is turning out to be the year for multi-core introductions.  Now, where are the multi-core notebook CPUs with x64 support that only use a small amount of power?
