Dual Core Intel Processors Sooner Than Expected

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the rolling-out-like-autobots dept.

Hack Jandy writes "AnandTech reports that Intel's Smithfield processors are going to get here sooner than they originally predicted; most likely within the next few months. Apparently, the Intel roadmaps reveal that the launch dates for next generation desktop chipsets, 2MB L2 Prescotts and Dual Core Smithfield processors (operating at 3.2GHz per core) are almost upon us - way ahead of the original Q4'05 roadmap estimates. Hopefully, that means Intel will actually start shipping the new technology instead of waiting four months after the announcement for retail products."

    They've come close to consigning themselves to the dustbin of technological history by being arrogant and relying on marketing instead of actual good tech to sell their products. Why does anybody wait breathlessly for their product announcements anymore?

      I find the overrated and troll modifiers to be amusing. I guess Slashdot is like everywhere else, and contentious opinions are just as unwanted.

    "Somehow I think you're not actually using the faster CPUs out there or you'd know how big a deal heat is."

    Yeah you are right I made it all up. My Ph.D....all bullshit....me being a senior research scientist in computational chemistry....yep made that all up to....and to be quite honest we could care less about power consuption on our desktop workstation machines...which is were we do must of our computing...for our cluster yeah we consider it....but money is not really so much an issue when you are working to bring the next billion dollar drug to market. (Computer simulations are always going to be much cheaper than actually synthesizing all the possible candidate compounds) So forgive me when I point the finger back at you and say that you sound like a closet sys admin who would love to believe that he knows everything about computers. bleh..
