Source is wrong in the news post and the link has BBCode tags instead of HTML. Interesting news however.

Oh, sorry. Fixed. Thanks for that Mike.

Interesting... BTW, you always need a pic with the news, even if it's only like Intel's logo or something. Also, what's with all that space at the bottom of it?

 

[PP Mguire]

Jesus Christ, pointless. Dual Core processors arent even used yet so there is no use for a quad core.

 

[mVp24]

Yea WC thx for the sport, fixed.

Can you edit by allowing a space between the bottom of the image and the first line of text please mate. All images other than OC3D official image need to have a border around them, so the image will need to be uploaded again and the image (border) option used. Thanks

For everyday people like us your right. But servers will lap these up, and have you seen k|ngp|ns records? gonna be some time before theyre beaten..

 

[FarFarAway]

I have to say that I utilise my Dual Core quite a lot

 

[Rastalovich]

I don`t as much as I`d like. Well it`s not that I don`t, the software don`t.

Erm, can some1 run another price check on these ?

[FarFarAway]

[limqareb]

is amd going to do anything to counter this? they already lost to the C2D and now they are gonna loose another chance to gain the crown?

Yea, for regular use its pointless like i said. Thats why they have the Xeons (dont know WHY they still use that name lol.) for the servers, but quad core for mainstream? I have one of the best dual cores and i barely use it. Only thing i do is this. Windows boots, set affinity to stupid other processes to Core1, game to Core0 done. I have the FEAR patch that supposedly makes it multi-threaded, dosent do crap really. Sorry for being so negative lately, but i see all this technology coming out thats not even going to be utilized for a couple of years. They should stick on improving whats NOW instead of later cause the software is having a hard time keeping up. I mean sheesh, we pretty much ALL have X64 processors and its not even being used.

yeah WE WANT more 64 bit software !!

 

[PP Mguire]

Hell yes, i want to see X64 games that utilize my processor as being dual core. Didnt they release an X64 version of Farcry?
