I've purchased both AMD and Intel in the past but for my next home PC it will probably be some flavor of AMD for gaming.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/

Either way, this is the first CPU advancement that has gotten me excited in a long time. True multitasking sounds like it's finally here.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/
Multithreding is not to be confused with multitasking. Applications must be written to take advantage of multiple processors, windows has always supported premptive mutitasking.

Multithreding is EXTREMELY important for those like myself who run Adobe Premier or Lightwave 3D, a little less so for Photoshop.

In short, this allows a budget workstation class PC.

The disk in the photo is a wafer, this is how they are fabricated, with multiple chips that are then cut apart.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/11/intel-ships-first-dual-core-chips/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AM
