AMD Demos Dual-Core Athlon 64

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the with-two-types-of-salsa dept.

DigitumDei writes "Dual core chips came closer to reality as AMD demonstrated their Athlon64 dual-core offering. The 90nm technology chip will use the same 939-pin infrastructure and cooling solutions as the current Athlon 64 chips, meaning that upgrading to a dual-core chip from your current AMD64 will require little more than a BIOS update. Available in the second half of this year, the chip will be added to AMD's current line (Athlon64, Athlon FX, Sempron)."

    Is there something I'm missing? Or is this whole dual-core mess really just SMP on one CPU?

    No nothing. I really DO nOT believe we need these. It's such a waste. I look more forward to Linux/Inix running on a CELL.
