Intel 6-core 'Dunnington' to come?
- Thread starter Toxcity
- Start date
phwor, we dont need this
intel should just settle down, and do what amd did, keep re-releasing the same processor over and over again, we've got the speed now, and just make it more and more energy efficient each time, until software catches up, then kick it up a knotch again
EDIT: would also give AMD a chance to catch up

That is stupid why do they always do this? There is no need for new hardware YET. They have not even mastered the Quad Core yet, apparently there has been some bugs within AMD and INTEL.
Trying to waste our money for nothing? Most software and games don't even support Dual Core... Quad is out of the question in most cases... Now HEX CORE....
Come on INTEL... Your over doing it now!

More down to programmers not knowing what they`re doing if u ask me.

On a more serious note. Isn't the 6 core architecture much better. As in, it has 6 seperate cores rather than the 2x2cores the quad has?
If The technology is there to make it harder, better, stronger, and faster. Why not utilise it.

pfft and the rest 
Be quietly amuzed at how fast a single core processor they could make these days.
What I mean by that is, with the cpu, present itself to the mobo/pc as a single core (or 2 core if we think programmers are up to it), but cunningly on the chip, it branches into 4 or 6 cores without the OS even knowing about it - or even having to know about it. So it does the business of sharing the load, that seems to be an issue for the software guys, without them needing to take off their blinkers.
Be a beast.
