Dual core processors have been the subject of so much hype that perceptions about the technology seem to have trumped some of the realities
Both AMD and Intel have posted Web pages in which they extol the virtues of their respective dual-core devices. That makes timely sense, since most industry watchers agree that 2006 is the year dual-core will become ascendant.
However, hidden in the such venues, and among numerous news stories on the subject, are some surprising and uncommon facts. Accordingly, we bring you five things you probably didn't know about dual core.

Looks like these guys are a tad behind. "On the AMD front, the single/dual- core top speeds are comparable. The single core Athlon 64 3400+ runs at 2.4 GHz. The dual-core Athlon 64 X2 4600+ is also clocked at 2.4 GHz. " AMD 64 4000+, AMD Athlon 64 FX60, and the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ are already for sale. ;0) |

Your points taken, I think the 5 statements made in the article are relatively accurate. They were mainly pointing out that the average computer user is clueless. I find those statements accurate not only in regards to duel core cpu’s but computers in general. Of course those people are never going to see that article and will remain in the dark. Don’t forget the people that come to Warp2search and sites like TechWeb only make up about 5% of the people that use computers, if not less. |

You are correct sir, but I meant my comment as a harmless joke, thus the wink at the end. |
