Intel Plans for Dual-Core Prescott CPUs in 2005

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the hot-stuff-coming-through dept.

scapermoya writes "X-Bit Labs is reporting that Intel is planning to step up their introduction of dual-core processors, with the first chips to hit the market in late 2005. Intel announced this plan at the Technology for Business Today seminar, held in Washington, D.C. Looks like NetBurst is sticking around, despite what we have heard lately about a move toward the 'M' architecture. Supposedly, thanks to HyperThreading, the OS will see 4 installed processors. Snazzy."

    Thanks to patented HyperSlowing(TM) technology, Longhorn won't see 4 processors but 1.
