Rob Enderle over at Digital Trends got a V8 from Intel and compared it to his AMD Quadzilla machine.
Quote:
"Having what amounts to unlimited headroom is damned nice. You don’t have to think about shutting stuff down if you want to do something else, you can multi-task everything, begin virus scans whenever you want, run video games (several at once if you want), watch TV or movies, and generally fry your brain, depending on your attention span and your tolerance level for distraction.
"
