Intel dual core chips were tested and supposed to perform really well. It was said to do the required task in half the time as a single core chip. I am not sure about the speeds but here they are. Dual core at 3.2gigs and single core at 3.8. It is supposed to be released in the second quater.
Dual Core is here. |

I wonder how much they're gonna cost. |

I'm not sure about the cost, but dual core is definatly the wave of the future. AMD is jumping on it too. It will definatly be an interesting battle between the two.

this sounds like it will be interesting, i cant wait for the price to go down and it to be included on most computers standard, and eventually when they size it down to a pda size, that will be awesome, but also it will be a few more years.

Yeah, this is funky enough. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Members Posts: 194 Joined: 30-July 04 From: Lebanon Member No.: 293 |
My question is how did they get over the heat issues? the SINGLE core 3.2ghz ones where already overheating rather nicely.

Yeah, even the old Pentiums had to have a heatsink-and-fan combination on them to keep them cool. Heck, the some of the PII/PII MMX chips required a HUGE heatsink. A motherboard with one of those sometimes could only accomodate a specific CPU. I've seen CPUs that looked like a stick of RAM. Really odd. |

The next step is 'multi-core' where the # of cores can be 4, 8 or even 16. I think massive-parallel is coming to the desktop!
