Quad Core Chips From Intel and AMD

According to the San Fransisco Chronicle, in an effort to one-up AMD, Intel will be coming out with 4 core cpu’s in 2007.” From the article: “Chips with two cores have been the latest rage, with both Intel and AMD selling those microprocessors as their high-end offering. Apple Computer Inc.’s new iMac, which started selling last month, uses the dual-core chip … Not to be outdone, Randy Allen, AMD’s corporate vice president of server and workstation division, said Friday that his firm is working its own quad-core processor for release next year.

Hah, it didn’t take long for AMD to jump in with the announcement. I don’t want to even think how hot these chips could possible get. Check out the posting at Slashdot.
