Re: Conroe.....yo
I was reading earlier today how Intel it trying to do the milestone thing before AMD. I have been adamant about saving for the duo but there are a couple of interesting things one should know before adopting early.
1. The intel chip is (2) dual-core CPU's on the same die, much in the same way a multi-CPU (SMP) system has 2 individual CPU's.
Intel is going to release a true "Quad Core" cpu but not until later.
2. The AMD Quad Core CPU that is going to ship sometime in 2007 is a true "Quad Core" CPU in that it has (4) individual Cores.
The estimated performance of the Quad Cores compared to the DUO style was many orders of magnitude greater.
As with anything you read however, I find technology reports often should be taken with a grain of salt.
