i think it still has 2years to release

Are they doing this to gain the market place as before which has now been taken over by AMD??

@stormblast If Intel plans to do this after 2yrs. then I'm sure AMD will even cross them more within 2yrs.

well considering the price of intel 6 core ! im wondering how much will this cost ?

1500-2000 $ ? huh......

Can any one answer me the plus point of 10 cores?? Is there any application to use that much processing power?

 

[krishnandu]

Till they release that may be there will be many...!! If not by others surely by Adobe

These are mostly used in server machines. In fact some premier server applications licenses, like Oracle, are based on the number of cores.

BTW, AMD has already released its Opteron series processors with 12 cores.

Intel comes with 10 cores next year, AMD bangs their ""::"" with 16 Core Bulldozer....
