Six-core Intel processors coming this year!

[gary4gar]

hmmm 6 core Cpu
Looks Intel is getting ready for Windows 7 as it be a better bloatware than Vista is


Just joking

I have observed a P4 running at 3ghz is faster than a c2d running at 2ghz. as most apps do not use 2 cores

why can't devs make applications to use the available processor power?

It's a slow process. The industry has always been about single core & more MHz, or dual CPU but dual core came just a while ago, I wonder why developers don't make such apps maybe it takes lots of re-coding. The multi core optimized compilers are already available.

being a mid-range user,,My only area of interest is that the price of Quad-Cores will go down!

same over here....

Earlier it was mindless gigahertz war , now its shifted to core war. lets whats going next one ...Mindless wars

What's the use of 6 cores,when no apps can't even utilize 2 cores to their full capacity?

Anyways,those with big pockets will go for upgrade,i will be upgrading next year.
Lets see what does 2009 brings out.

@gary:isnt linux got SMP and SMT support already(hence faster) that means these quad/octo core are may be utilized fine.but I dont know on the application side

well,my dream of seeing Pentium 5 is over
