Pretty sweet... I don't know if this is old news but I just found out lol.

Super · 06-21-2007, 01:11 AM

These have been out for almost a year...

punture · 06-21-2007, 01:14 AM

no way.. it was publically released??

Super · 06-21-2007, 01:16 AM

um ya...

They already had like a $200 price drop. You can get one for around $500

The duo core are ****ing amazing, I can't imagine the quad core.

It's not a true quad core, it's 2 dual cores, 2 L2 caches and so it'll only be capable of 2 simultaneous calculations at the same time.

AMD's had their quad cores out for a while too. They have 4 individual cores, with 4 L2 caches and an L3 cache on top of those.

But how is AMD looking in terms of company wise? You think they'll survive?

AMD is taking it in the butt right now for how intel does its memory controlling and I/O gateway management.

4 cores doesn't mean faster, remember also.

Duh, dualcores aren't faster than a single core processor.

Intel's Quad Core has been out for a while, they're about to release one for laptops too.
AMD's quad core is already out? I thought it was coming out later this year... If you're talking about this, it's not really quad core.

Thats one of the stupidest things you've ever said. Dualcores are twice if not four times faster than single core processors. The BUS speed is what matters. Lets say you have a single core Processor at 3.2 Ghz. Then you have a Dualcore processor at 2.3 Ghz. The 2.3 Ghz computer will run twice as fast than the Pentium 4. Taking a closer look you can see that the BUS Speed on the P4 is 166 x 6 or 633 or 533 and the Core 2 Duo, is 1033.

Something like that.

Yea but its like $1000 for the FX-74 which runs at 3GHz and you would need that mobo taht only fits in a full tower

Congrats.

More cores == More processes to be run.
