Dual-Core Pentium 4 Slated For 2Q 2005

Posted by timothy on from the also-makes-toast dept.

Quantrell writes "Today is the first full day of the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco, and Intel has announced that dual-core Pentium 4s are coming in the second quarter, one in the Extreme Edition line (no surprise there), and also the Smithfield Pentium 4 800 series, which is the next so-called consumer desktop line. No word on pricing, yet."

      I don't know about AC, but I live in Michigan, and plan on putting one of these in every room. Central heat? Naaah, distributed dual core pentiums.

    Honestly. The Dual Core Intel Pentium Processor Extreme Edition with Hyper-Threading Technology.

    Am I the only one that thinks that sounds funny? Like someone took a steaming PR doodoo into the buzzword generator at Intel?

    Personally, I think I'll hold off until they release the Dual Core Intel Pentium Processor Fusion Edition Titanium Pack PRO with Spastic-Threading Nano-Techno-Giga-Awesome Technology.
