AMD to Ship Dual-Core Athlon 64 Chip by Year's End
"Chip maker Advanced Micro Devices plans to ship a dual-core version of its 64-bit Athlon 64 microprocessor for desktop and mobile PCs during the second half of this year--but the chips won't be targeted at the high end of the market, the company says.
AMD will demonstrate the dual-core Athlon 64 chip at its Sunnyvale, California, headquarters later Wednesday, it says.
Dual-core microprocessors contain two processor cores on a single piece of silicon, giving desktop and mobile PCs improved multitasking and multimedia capabilities compared to PCs based on single-core processors, AMD says in a statement. This means users can burn a DVD on their PC while simultaneously encoding high-resolution videos and running a security application in the background, it says."
