Intel Dual Core...check it

Intel is shifting most of its focus in the processor market to dual core CPUs, suggesting that by the end of 2006, better than 75% of the CPUs Intel ships will be multicore processors. We sat in on a dual-core architecture session at IDF, presented by Intel's Benson Inkley. Inkley covered the fundamental concepts of how Intel will be building dual core CPUs. Dual core CPUs from Intel will ship in two primary classes. The first class will ship with two execution cores on a single semiconductor die. The first iteration of this is the Pentium D ("Smithfield"), which will be built on the company's 90nm process, similar to that being used for the current Pentium 4 600 CPUs. Each core will have an independent interface to the frontside bus. what do you think??
