However if we did happen to see the "80 core" prototype with speeds of around 5 / 6 ghz then my god....]]>Sep 26th 2006 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/
You're comment that mult-core at a lower clock speed will always beat a single core at a higher clock speed is patently absurd. Even at the same clock speed, an identically designed (not core 2 vs. P4) single core will have performance benifits resulting from lower overhead requirements. It's ONLY when two or more threads are running that more cores are faster. As it is, I'd like to see software manufacturers, microsoft (and open source OS devs), and chip makers come up with a way to allow the user to choose what software runs where. I'd like all of my "utility" software including the OS, network services, anti-virus, etc... to be limited to one core while my processor intensive apps could spawn on several at a time.

I plan on upgrading my pc in early 07'. I was thinking of getting dual core...But (depending on the price) I might just go with a quad.

Its seems clear now, that multi-core processors are here to stay.
Looks like Microsoft chose correct with the 360 by doing multiple cores...while the PS3 chose the cell.....BTW, Whats up with the cell? Is comming to desktops???? or what?]]>Sep 27th 2006 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/
The fact that they now have Apple on board, which actually _does_ make sexy small computers doesn't change that one bit.

Is Apple prohibited from playing in that competition? ]]>Sep 27th 2006 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/
With two cores, you don't need to parallelize anything - one core can run all the low priority crap, the other on the main number cruncher program or something like that.

With 4, that's less true. Maybe we will just get used to background tasks that use way more CPU than the current ones - they would slow down a single core tremendously, but on a quad or 8x, you won't notice at all. Xcept maybe with battery life.]]>Sep 27th 2006 5:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/

The cell processor has 8 cores so i don't see your argument.... the Xbox 360 is lacking only having 2

I have no idea if it will ever come to PC i guess not, have you ever seen an emotion engine PC?? ;D]]>Sep 27th 2006 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/Sep 27th 2006 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/intel-developers-forum-roundup-four-cores-now-80-cores-later/
