According to PC World, at the recent Intel Developer Forum conference in Beijing, Intel revealed that it is working on quad-core processing for laptops. Set for release in 2008, the quad-core mobile processor is aimed at high-level gaming and mobie computers, where users will trade battery life for more performance.
Mooly Eden, vice president and general manager of Intel’s mobile platform group was quoted as saying, “You’ll see it at the high-end, but I don’t see it running so fast into the mainstream because I don’t believe there will be enough threaded applications that will justify the trade-offs”
If you have been keeping abreast of server hardware, you would know that current desktop and server quad-core chips actually strap together two dual-core dies inside a single-chip package. Well, this will not be the case for the quad-core mobile chips.
