However, this will change and reports say that in the area of video development and processing the new quad-core kills its dual-core predecessor, with performance improvements in the region of 80%. Intel has absolutely creamed AMD in the high performance stakes with its new offerings in recent months. However, AMD is set for a fightback, with the release of its own two chip four core model, the 4x4 processor before the end of the year, ahead of its single die four cour processor to be released in mid-2007. AMD has been critical of Intel's four core hardware solution, saying that it is not a true four core processor but simply two dual-cores sticky taped together. However, it is difficult to persuade users to turn their noses up at an 80% performance improvement over a technical point of contention. {moscomment} |
