Any news on Quad core from AMD/INTEL?

Falstaff · Oct 26, 2006, 01:55 PM

Before this post gets squirreled away in some dark corner of the tech forum, does anyone have anything more than Google info on quad core tech?

What specifically are you looking for?

Considering its not released yet (nov 13th - 'quad fest') - more than that may be difficult until then..?? I dunno. But I would think its basically just 'multi-core' tech. the # of cores would seem moot - other than the $$$ - but the mechanics sound similar to dual cores (as indicated in that pdf I linked to).

ps. I found that by googling 'intel.com: quad core' - but more search terms may help get specifically what your looking for.

then theres this found with 'amd.com: quad core'

I've read all the Max PC's.

It looks like Kentsfield is two superglued Conroe's, so I wanna see how that turns out.

If it ends up that you can slap a quad core on a P5B-e from Asus, I'd be interested

From what Intel was telling us at one of their seminars their first quad core from them will cost around $1000... maybe more.

No thanks.
