Quattro said:So what's going to be the next big jump for processors as we know them?
Dual Cores?
128bit?
Something that will blow us away?
What do you think it will be?
I reckon dual cores will be the next major thing that will be mainstream in about 2 years, maybe less.

But the new ones will not be very quick will they?
I was planning on keeping my S754 2ghz for a year, I wonder what will be around during that time.
Anyone know what my avatar is about?

doublejack said:I read that AMD is targeting mid 2005 for the release of dual cores. So we're looking about 8-10 months.
OC-Master said:Intel has already demostrated a crappy Workstation Dual cored setup which showed how slow current Dual cored chips will be with single threaded applications.
A 3GHz Dual cored Athlon64 running a single threaded application is slower than a Athlon64 2800+. But then again, if what you work worth is only multi threaded applications than the dual cored CPU would smoke any single cored CPU.

DanIdentity said:Just because each of the cores in a dual-core A64 will be running 1.5GHz (or so), doesn't mean it's a "3GHz" CPU. Dual cores don't effectively increase clock speed and they won't be referred to that way.
