Intel plans to ship quad-core processors in November 06 for servers and gaming PCs. Multiple vendors have plans to sell quad-core-based PCs for the high-end gaming market, including Dell and its Alienware division, Gateway, Velocity Micro, and Voodoo.

Extra cores in a chip allows the PC to split up heavy workloads.

Image via Gizmodo Most of the time that we have been talking about dual-core computing hit the big time in the last two years or three years perhaps, not quite sure of it. The matter of fact is the performance benefits of having two CPU cores in a single PC have been consistently proven in revealing faster media processing times and better responsiveness. But now, I get a chance to know the latest technology coming in and it’s time for us to move on from dual-core, steps up to deliver you Quad-core PC computing. I ensure you that Intel really does a high-end offering ... Read Full Story

As expected, Intel just announced its Clarksfield laptop chips, bringing Core i7 to the laptop form factor. There'll be three chips, two regular quad-cores and a Core i7 Extreme that can run as fast as 3.2GHz in Turbo mode, which selectively shuts off cores and uses the extra power to speed up the the remaining cores while preserving battery life. The parts were demoed working in shipping-ready form on stage, but pricing and availability weren't mentioned -- we'll let you know what we can dig up.

Looking back, quad-core processors have had quite the run already. Intel’s first quad-core CPU, the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 was released almost three years ago, with the much more popular Q6600 following up months later at a rather steep $850. As you may recall it was quite the luxury then to have one of these at your disposal. Today we find ourselves with very different and diversified offerings from both companies, that are not only cheaper but also significantly faster. Just take for example AMD’s Phenom II X4 945 that can be purchased for as little as $170, not to mention Intel’s most recent ... Read Full Story

Say you need some additional firepower for the latest online shooter and decide to assign three of the four cores of your Intel Quad Core CPU to that single application and run the rest of the applications on the remaining cpu core. That’s a valid scenario don’t you think? It does not have to be a game though, you could assign a cpu intense application to a core and the rest of the applications to another. SMP Seesaw (via Download Squad ) is the application that you are looking for if you want to control the cpu cores in detail. It’s probably more of ... Read Full Story

Transitioning from 140W to 125W TDP results in a cooler, more efficient processor with added benefits like lower case temperature and decreased power draw. New CPU revisions usually feature improved overclocking capability and this particular chip did not disappoint. With CPU core voltage at 1.5V, we reached a speedy 4.12GHz rock solid stable.

A tentative rumor ad mid-day suggests that Apple's anticipated iMac redesign may draw on Intel's mobile Core i7 processors. Most other details aren't provided in the AppleInsider tip, but any release before early 2010 would require that Apple use some or all of the quad-core "Clarksfield" designs on the market and produce the first non-workstation quad-core Macs....

Adding more cores to a PC or server helps it compute faster by breaking up the workload.

Intel also plans to maintain current power levels in the new family of four-core chips, to maintain efficiency.  Intel will run the "Core 2 Extreme" chip at 130 watts.  The "Core 2 Quad" will run at 100 watts.  Additional chips are planned for lower power levels.
