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."

  1. 130 Watts!! by leathered · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The jokes about the heat these puppies will pump out couldn't be more appropriate. An article at Tom's states that the Smithfield core has a thermal design power of 130W making it by far the hottest x86 CPU ever seen.

    In contrast, AMD's dual core offering will offer no increase in TDP over their present single core designs.
