Intel Drops Tejas, Xeon To Focus On Dual-Core Chips

PunkerTFC writes "Reuters has an article about Intel dropping the fourth-generation P4 chip (codenamed "Tejas") and the Xeon server processor. Intel says they want to concentrate on their new 'dual-core' technology for desktop and notebook systems. This is essentially putting two processors on one chip, allowing for a doubling of performance with less energy use. The introduction of this technology was not expected for another year and a half. Rival chip maker AMD says they have the capability to produce dual-core chips and will introduce the technology when they "feel there is a market need.""

doi you think this has anything to do with the fact that MS is shipping a database(traditionally considered able to leverage hyperthreading very well) on their desktop? HMMMM!

"Sir, maybe we should introduce our dual core chip now!"

"No... that's just what they'll be expecting us to do..."

Chip dies with one failed core...

Gives new meaning to the term deadlock.

It's not really a dupe

[commodoresloat]

It was just posted with the dual core chip, so it got posted twice.

An advantage of dual core is redundant stories, and a bright future in redundant posts!

Crap, slash software ruined the joke with this post stopper:
"This exact comment has already been posted. Try to be more original..."

I wish they had this for the fucking "editors" that can't be bothered to read or check their own site!
