Intel will formally announce that it has begun shipping its dual-core Pentium processors on Monday (April 18), the company said Friday. "We are now confirming that [our] first-ever dual core PCs — our processors and chip sets — will be shipping from OEMs starting Monday morning," Intel spokeswoman Shannon Love said in an email. "For some time, this date had been set to coincide with the eve of the official 40th anniversary of Moore's Law." "Go Gordon MOORE
basically Moore observed an exponential growth in the number of transistors per integrated circuit and predicted that this trend would continue."
Intel's desktop dual-core roadmap includes three other processors designated Pentium D. They are the models 820, 830, and 840, with clock speeds of 2.8 GHz, 3.0 GHz, and 3.2 GHz, respectively. All have 800 MHz front-side buses and dual L2 caches of 1 MB in capacity. The processors also support Intel's EM64T 64-bit instruction-set extensions.
Man would i like to see what performance I could pull out of one of these babies. Oh wait I forgot its Intel. Lets just see another nail in the coffin from AMD
