Intel Core 2 Duo vs AMD

Its about time Intel brush up their image, with the release of Intel Core 2 Duo processor, finally intel has a chip that outperform AMD’s chip interm of price and speed. Just when you thought that a dual processor would be more than enough, intel fresh off its Core 2 Duo chips by announcing the release of quad-core processor, the timing couldn’t be good enough – AMD later this year will release a product called “4×4,” which is two AMD processors connected together on a high-end motherboard. Both chip maker will try and double up the number of processor in a chip, perhaps in the future a processor may be packed with as many as 100 chips – who did so much fire power anyway? unless you’re a hardcore gamer or in the multimedia industry.

The main issue would be the heat generated from these chips, as they double up each year so does the heat. This would be a draw back for laptops due to the fact that heat build-up requires noisy fans to keep the system cool, especially in notebooks. Apparently E6800 Extreme can be clocked up to 5.6GHz…. that is fast.

I find it weird that these chip maker only concentrate on making faster processor and doubling up the number of chips in it. Why not invest in a new cooling system, something that might solve this heating problem and eventually increase the chip processor speed. End of the day, it is not who came out with the most number of chip in a processor, it is those that are able to tame the heat produce by a processor.
