Ugh, in 2005 AMD X2's were wiping the floor with any desktop processor Intel had. The only reason Intel stayed in business was that being much, much bigger company than AMD, so they could 1) outsell AMD on availability basis and 2) ditch NetBurst and come up with newer architecture (which was a glorified version of their mobile/older architecture).
