Intel's new processors

[edyzmedieval]

Martyr told me about some new processors from Intel, which are due to appear very soon, and will be a double powerhouse.

Any info please?

I consider buying them from the moment they appear. My new computer must have the best and most powerful components.

edyz, tell me you have hacked into the accounst of Raomanian governement's treasury.

On topic, if you'll get a new PC, your first preference should be dual core CPUs of course.

I'm trying, I'm trying.... :chain:

On topic, I hope they won't cost a fortune. It's gonna kill me if they do.

Quick answer:

• The new Intel Core Duo chips are derived from the Pentium M.
• They're supposed to spank every chip known to man when running 32-bit software. (See this article.)
• Cost is still unkown.

Big article going over the spec.

Much more powerful that the Intel Pentium IV processors?

IYHO, which is the most powerful chip of both Intel and AMD? At the moment.
And the best from these 2.
