Thanks to Neshi for the submission.

In the past, AMD once won the performance battle with Intel by its innovative and excellent processor micro-architecture, and then Intel got back the leadership by the introduction of its new Core architecture. From this history, instead of clock speed and FSB, we know micro-architecture really does matter to the performance race. With improved micro-architecture, AMD will release its next-generation AM2+ processor in Q3 2007, trying to make a fight with Intel Core 2. For this reason, Intel just released the company’s plan on Core 2’s price cut to maximize its combat efficiency in the battle, in which Intel Core 2 Quad has a noticeable price cut of 40%.

I think it's great for the customers, but a slap in the face for AMD. Curious to see what they will bring out in the future (specs and prices).
btw, good you found the english info.. searched my head off at that chinese/japanese site..

look at the quad at Q3 (probably the C2D will drop also?)

Wow maybe I'll wait until Q3 then.
