reports AMD's upcoming Athlon X2 7750 will compete against the low-end Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 processors:
This is actually not really a fair fight as Intel’s Pentium dual core E5200 works at 2.5GHz while AMD's new Athlon 7750 works at 2.7GHz. AMD obviously didn’t want to compare 2.7 GHz clocked Pentium dual core E5400 as we suspect that the performance advantage would stay at Intel’s side.
AMD will naturally have to fight Intel with price and AMD won't have a better dual-core solution until Q3 2009, when it comes out with the new Regor dual-core, but it also plans to fight the real Core 2 duo based CPUs with its upcoming Heka and Rana three cores.
