When we wrote about Gateway’s spring retail PCs back in January of this year, it was quite obvious that, at least for that product cycle, Gateway had thrown out Intel’s Core 2 Quad Q6600 quad-core processor in favor of an AMD Phenom X4 chip.

The more affordable “GT” versions - four of them - continue to rely on AMD and integrate triple-core and quad-core processors.
