Intel Brings Quad-core Chips to Market

It seems that the promise of exponential reduction in size and increase in speed is fianlly being realized. I remember when a dual core chip was the next big thing.

Intel is entering the quad-core era.

The Santa Clara, Calif., company on Nov. 14 is rolling out its first chips with four processing cores for servers, workstations and desktop PCs, and OEMs large and small are supporting the move with systems powered by the chips.
