4 Cores? 6 Cores? Do You Care?
An anonymous reader writes "Intel has updated its processor price list earlier today. Common sense suggests that Intel may not care that much anymore whether its customers know what they are actually buying. One new six-core processor slides in between six-core and quad-core processors – and its sequence number offers no clues about cores, clock speed, and manufacturing process. If we remember the gigahertz race just a decade ago, it is truly stunning to see how the CPU landscape has changed. Today, processors carry sequence numbers that are largely meaningless."
because not only does this not happen as of 2010 at all, the names reflect what is sold at retail, you smug dumbshit.
lol, what are windows fucktards doing here anyway
