Quad Core Now a Reality

Intel Corp, world’s biggest computer chip producer, has unveiled its new quad core processors which promises to improve processing speed hugely over single or dual core processors. The recent new processors with multiple cores designate more complicated jobs at once on machines.

Intel also released four server processors under the Xeon 5300 series and another one under Core 2 Extreme. These processors are advantageous for programming, hard core gaming, and processor intensive application.

The new 5300 processor chips use the same amount of power but are capable of as much as four times faster than the previous single-core models. The Core 2 Extreme chip achieves up to 80% faster speed than previous single core processors. Intel’s competitor, AMD, hopes to release its own version of quad core revival in mid 2007.
