AMD has plans for a dual-core version of its 64-bit processor, and meeting its delivery target would mean the company stays hot on Intel's heels

AMD is aiming to release a dual-core version of its 64-bit processors by late 2005 -- a target that would see it keep pace with Intel.

Dr William Siegel, AMD?s chief scientist, told ZDNet UK at the launch of the Athlon 64 in Cannes, France, on Tuesday that the company will launch a dual-core 64-bit processor on the 90-nanometre process -- a figure characterised by the size of the features on the chip.

Shortly after K7 was released I remember hearing that the K8 would be dual core. Looks like that rumor is true.

Move over Hyper-Threading! Here's the real deal.

People, drool all you like, the fact remains late 2005. We aren't even in 2004 yet.
