Quoted: Various developers are busy implimenting workarounds for serious bugs in Intel's Core 2 cpu.
These processors are buggy as hell, and some of these bugs don't just cause development/debugging problems, but will *ASSUREDLY* be exploitable from userland code.

Wow -- looks like Intel is taking back the performance crown from AMD (for now). Interesting technical details in this roundup.
Quoted: Review: We put Intel's long-anticipated Core 2 processors to the test. After hammering the new CPUs with the most comprehensive set of benchmarks we've ever run, we can safely say: Believe the hype.

Processor benchmarks for software development. Looks like Athlon 64 is a big winner here, crushing the Pentium D Dual Core processor into submission. Not sure how relevant the C++ compilation numbers are (or if they had the appropriate configuration settings for multiprocessor compilation) to C# compilation, but the implication is that compilers are not designed for multi-threaded operation just yet.
