Intel Readying Dual-Core Desktop Chip
sunisha.shah4eva writes "CoolTechZone is reporting that Intel is planning on introducing a dual-core Dothan chip for desktop computers. According to the article, Intel has plans to turn the performance table around with AMD. From the article: 'Finally, it looks like Intel has learned from its mistake and secretly prepping a surprise for the rest of the industry. According to the information we received, Intel is currently working on a desktop, dual-core Dothan microprocessor with SSE3 instruction set that Intel plans to launch sometime in the future. Whether the launch will take place this year or in 2006 is currently unknown.'"
The same kind of people care about calling a Mac a 'Mac' as care about calling Linux 'GNU/Linux'.
Either deal with it or become a disreputed asshole about it.
The global economy is a great thing until you feel it locally.
No such thing as a G5 powerbook..
And now, there never will be, due to the dimwitted Steve Jobs..

And releases something like 150W of heat out of the box, and sucks anyway, and can't even evolve because netburst is a pile of steaming shit.
Sooo, your point? From TFA, Intel is finally planning to release the low power low frequency high efficiency Dothan core (mobile processor) on desktop configurations, and as a dual core, probably even as a true dual core (AMD style) instead of the current shitty one you see on P4, merely sticking two cores and saying "voila, dual core" while it's merely dual processor in a single package... (no, this isn't the same, at all)
