It's two cores instead of a single core. It works like dual cpu machine but without the expensive motherboard.

Dual core 'can' increase performance by 50-80% on applications that are multithreaded. Some apps will show no improvements until they are rewritten, which I bet will also happen.

The Operating System will be smother and won't freeze up when trying to do two intense things at once. Play a game and scan for viruses it will tear through without freezing up.

Two cores are better then one.  :)

Not really, due the HD Speed...

But yeh, CPU Intensive tasks will be a breeze! :D

So is the socket confirmed?

*Prays its 939*

I've heard it's a totally different socket myself, socket 1207

I hope they release s939 versions though because i don't fancy upgrading my motherboard

I think I read earlier it's going to be socket m2!?

I'm probably wrong though.

One core, with dual channel DDR = 939

Two cores, with dual channel DDR = 939

One core with dual channel DDR2 = 1207

Two cores with dual channel DDR2 = 1207

Socket 1207 will be strictly dual core and dual channel DDR2.

No more single core products after 939.

the motherboards though will have to handle the specifications of the dual cpus, like thermal and power requirements. which most will but some may not be able to handle it. Have to checfk the motherboard first before you go and buy your dual core.

Dual core does sound awesome but like some people have posted before there will be a lot of cases that the dual cores just won't see any performance increase for a while.

Even AMD have said the fastest processor for the next while will be single core cpus.

unless you do stuff that needs the dual cores you really won't see a benefit to it.

I will get one cause support will follow from the software vendors but not til that happens.

ALSO

intel dual core cpus with hyperthreading will act like 4 cpus, two real two virtual. Just like single core intel processors have 1 real and 1 virtual processor right now.

So fun and cool things are happening

Pentium D won't have hyperthreading only the EE version which means it will be a more even fight since it will be dual core versus dual core.

Besides hyperthreading won't add much once you get two real cores.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
