HEXUS.bean - Intel Dual Core Extreme Edition

With the optimizations which some companies have already done - hopefully Dual Core should really kick in well
Lets hope all goes smoothly.

Something just crossed my mind:
XP Pro supports 2 CPUs doesn't it? If so, given there'll be dual HT on there, how will it handle 4 "virtual CPUs"?
PHP Code:$s = new signature();

XP Pro can run a dual Xeon (which of course can be HT'd) so that is fine - it will run with 4 virtual cores.
Also Microsoft are going to move on a per socket license rather than per core.
The most interesting thing is the fact that the P4 Chipsets which are currently out won't support it.
Will AMD's chipsets share a similar fate? Hopefully not, infact it's looking like they won't.

Are you sure? I hope your right.
Skt 939 dual core A64's would be a massive boost for AMD users.
I can't see too many Intel peeps being happy at having to upgrade chipsets again...

I'm sure I recall reading about a dual core workstation demonstrated somewhere - and it was using some server/workstation board that was already in production. I cannot remember exactly though, so I can't say for sure.
As for a chipset upgrade. Anybody buying an Intel Extreme Edition CPU will have enough money for a new motherboard too...

This may be what you were thinking of Kez...
Of course there's no guarantee of socket compatibility as the Proliant DL585 has each CPU + RAM on a separate daughterboard...
Complete with multiple speeds for grilling....
before i get my new pc, these CPUs r gunna cost like more that the best single cpus today right?
