I present you with...
The AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor for Desktops! An example of TRUE multi-tasking.

Although the X2's are pricey, they're worth every penny because they're more efficient than the Pentium D's. Pentium D's link 2 cores together though the System Bus, which is highy inefficient. The X2, however, uses the Direct Connect Archtecture since the AMD64 architecture was designed to support multiple-cores in the future.

AMD clearly has the advantage when it comes to Dual-Core processors ranging from Athlon 64's to Opterons.
