The Intel double core arrives a factory busily to overturn the heavens ahead of time
The market buys was mad has not seen the MB industry heart to leave undecided

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Reporter Zhou Zhonghsin ? Taibei) 2.005/04/11 billion

Will continue (AMD) ahead of time to publish the first section double core Opteron processor ultramicro, Intel (Intel) recently also urgently informs the downriver main engine board (MB) the customer, will shift to an earlier time in mid-April publishes first section double core processor Pentium 840 Extreme Edition, as well as next generation high step chip group 955X. Speaking of the PC customer, because double core platform product price expensive, in addition Intel CPU all not reduces prices before August to plan, the new product declares a position ahead of time outside, not only lets the MB merchant for coordinate Intel to publish can but aggressively work overtime busily overturns the heavens, is more difficult to anticipate can lead too many markets to buy the gas.

Intel the double core publication time interval, to mid-April, nothing but is ahead of time must snatch ultramicro in before, to the market unfolds the double core product to prepare to be ready, but as a result of the first section double core processor and the chip group, all is the host hits most goes against the level the effect energy level market, the market accepts to fear quite limitedly.

Among them, Pentium 840 Extreme Edition quoted price 999 US dollars, eliminate induct the double core overhead construction, also supports the ultra execution ? (Hyper Threading) the function, was equal to is 1 processor may simulate 4 processors the operation patterns. As for specially uses for to match goes against level Extreme Edition the edition processor chip group 955X, official quoted price 50 US dollars, thickly estimate according to MB industry, use the 955X chip group in the main engine board retail sales quoted price to look at 200 US dollars, although first declares a position the double core platform potency is astonishing, the price also makes one be flabbergasted.

MB industry pointed out that, the partial movement quicker merchant 955X main engine board hopes from the next week to get up ? deliveries market and so on Japan, but the Intel actual host hits the mainstream market the Pentium D series processor, as well as 945P, 945G chip group, then must wait till in the May last week only then to be able to publish, coordinates the Computex computer to unfold drums up support, actually supplied goods the time interval still to fall about the third season, therefore, this published ahead of time the significance was not certainly big.

But, the double core overhead construction not only symbolizes the Intel technology main item victory and defeat, the matter soon the new CEO Paul Otellini face countenance question which gets to work in May, therefore, the product goes on the market ahead of time the symbolic significance outdoes the substantive consideration.

dougSF30, And I think this looks worse for Intel than sticking to the May schedule.

And get beaten by AMD´s launch? I don´t think so, and I´m sure INTEL doesn´t think so either.

It looks like they are forced to react to their smaller rival.

The picture that the press paints is that of two companies trying
to one-up one another, to beat the other to "dual-core". And they will note INTEL as the winner of that fight.
