Intel to release Quad core BEFORE Xmas !!!!!!!!!
looks like i`ll be holding off buying a core duo till i find out the cost of these baby`s :D especialy since it`s unlikely that the mobo i just bought will be compatable........
i`ve been an amd fanboy for a good five years (& bang for buck wise, rightly so) but at the moment it looks like the rest of the decade belongs to Intel.

RE: Intel to release Quad core BEFORE Xmas !!!!!!!!!
Yes I heard about this a couple of weeks ago. I am sure Intel had this ready a while ago. Seems coincidental that this is announced after AMD attempt to find a way to match Intel with announcement of quad core processors? It does look like an uphill struggle for AMD unless they have something up their sleeves.
RE: Intel to release Quad core BEFORE Xmas !!!!!!!!!
yeah, the intel quad cores where due second quarter of 2007, & it is a little coincidental that amd say they "hope" to show quad core prototypes in the 4th quarter 2006, suddenly intel are ready to release them almost immediately,,,,,,,,
not that i care, as long as they are stable & give a decent boost above the previous technology (ie core duo) & the price is right, then i`ll consider it, otherwise i`ll just wait for the inevitable core duo price drop & get the best one of those i can afford at the time ;)
