Basically Intel knows AMD is coming out with a dual-core product in 2005 and is playing catch-up.

You got any links to this duel core solution?

It was mentioned in the enquirer article posted yesterday about the cancelling of the Tejas....


I think dual core is the way to go and I have been talking about it for the last 1-1/2.....I knew this is whee technology was going to go until we find the next components that could deal with the speed and te voltage and heat issues....

I just would like a little FAQ on how even theoretically it will work for AMD.

The new "super chip" is a dual core descendent of the Pentium-M. The pentium M is a descendent of the Pentium 3.

yup netburst is netbust. intel is going back to what they should of been doing anyway instead of upping the mhz

also how efficient would a deul core chip be? would it be double the die size? or can they share a common cache?

Heres a bit about it.

Thanks a bunch!

I guess we are going to have to keep our eyes pealed on the technology later.

Depends on the manufacturing process.

Id have said Dual CPU would be signifigantly more expensive than Dual Core.

Less mobo space needed for only 1 CPU and possibly just 1 massive heatsink.

Anything that offers me good performance for what Id call a reasonable price gets my vote.

Well, there is no doubt in my mind the price will be more expensive. Maybe he was just stating that idea in a more impertinent matter.

From what the article explains it's going to be like a AMD with HT. Is that proposition correct? Does that mean the future of programming will be for twice the registers(64 bit technology) and twice the threads?

I'm no expert, but to me it doesn't sound like it should require any special programming... at least, no more special programming than software that's already designed to be able to take advantage of multiple CPU's.

Right now, doesn't each CPU split up the task so one CPU remains idel? As it would be working in the same program. Now if they programmed the software to work both cores at the sametime...

not seen anything or heard anything super coming from Intel, and 2005 is suppose to be worse, AMD is going to slaughter then in benchmarks. read that somewhere.

kinda reminds you of when a 1Ghz t-bred crushed a 1.5Ghz p4, go AMD
