Top 10 Reasons Intel will not Participate in the Dual-Core Duel 10. Tried to follow their own roadmap to get to the duel 9. Decided to take the "front-side bus" to the duel; got stuck in a bottleneck 8. The "Intel Inside" stickers they used to package the cores together keep melting 7. Too busy rearranging the deck chairs on the Itanic 6. "Hey, we don't expect anyone to actually buy these things!" 5. Didn't want to compete when they realized that the duel would involve actual "rules" of fair competition 4. They couldn't get a permit from the fire department to emit that much heat 3. No systems available yet - protective clothing used by manufacturers only safe for up to 149 watts 2. Dell told them they weren't allowed to participate And the number one reason Intel won't accept the dual core duel: 1.
