Slow Dual Cores

[Mr Snub]

Today's front page article has intrigued me, AMD is going to be selling their dual core chips severly scaled down from their single core chips in speed(To reduce heat output). When these come out 2.6-3 ghz Athlon 64's will most likely be around, the 90 nm process having matured. So, a dual core chip with two cores capable of doing 2.6-3 ghz, but being sold at 1.8-2 ghz, I'd imagine they'd cost around what the high-end single core chips cost.. If you had a vapochill or other phase change system, think of the OCing potential

The 90nm A64s don't put out much heat at all, the problem AMD seems to be having is that they can't really ramp the chips up in speed that much...
