AMD executive casts doubt on Intel?s dual-core claim

By

Henri Richard over at AMD took a jab at Intel saying that their dual core solution doesn’t count and that AMD has the first real dual core. It isn’t too often you get one of the suits throwing jabs, but AMD came out swinging at Intel in Taipei this week!

Intel?s dual-core platform consists of two separate cores in individual dies packaged together using multi-chip packaging in a single chip, which is not a true dual-core solution, according to Henri Richard, senior vice president for worldwide sales and marketing of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) at Computex 2005 (May 31-June 4).

Although Intel was the first to launch its dual-core processor solution for desktop PCs, Richard commented that a real dual-core processor should be one that integrates two cores onto the same die.
