Just over one week into 2007 Intel kicked off the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas by showcasing a demo machine that was to be known as 'V8'. It was a system that was prepared by Intel just to show the media that consumers could go build a dual-socket platform with Intel retail products just like what AMD was doing on their QuadFX system. The only difference between the two dual-socket 'workstations' was the fact that Intel used two quad-core processors and AMD only had two dual-core processors. This proved to be a crushing blow for AMD in a sense as they didn't have anything to return fire with.
