Intel confirmed Friday that it had cancelled the Tejas, Jayhawk and Tulsa microprocessors originally scheduled for the year 2005 launch. Now the company promises to deliver dual-core chips across all market segments next year.
Intel claims that it will have top-to-bottom families of dual-core microprocessors next year. The plans now include Itanium 2 chip “Montecito” for mission-critical enterprise servers as well as dual-core products for mobile computers, desktop computers and typical mainstream servers.
Dual-core processors can process two times more data per clock and handle more than one threads at once. This allows the whole system to perform a lot better under high load when running multiply processors.
The new chips for desktops will fit into the platform guidance submitted by Intel for its 2005 products before. Therefore, on the chipset level the new desktop dual-core processors are expected to be compatible with Grantsdale (i915), Alderwood (i925X) and Lakeport chipsets that are anticipated to roll out in 2004 and 2005. It is not clear whether the chips will fit into Socket T infrastructure.
An Intel spokesman emphasized that the changes in plans are done in order to offer better solutions for customers, as dual-core chips typically perform better than single-core microprocessors. There were no issues with Tejas, Jayhawk and Tulsa, he said. The representatives declined to comment on actual performance and estimated benchmark results for the dual-core chips.
Originally dual-core microprocessors from Intel were scheduled for very late 2005 or 2006 introduction. But lately Intel discovered that there is a possibility to roll them out already next year at the time when Tejas should have been here.
Dual-core processors would usually fit into about two spaces for a single-core chips on the wafers, it should be noted. Therefore, dual-core processors are more expensive to produce.
Even though it is logical to expect Intel to offer dual-core chips for desktops, mobiles and servers that share the same micro-architecture, Intel’s official declined to comment on architecture-specific questions. There are rumours that all chips are to feature Pentium M-like architecture.

Let's see... Intel has been working on their 90 nano process for close to three years and it's a total flop, yet we're suppose to believe they'll deliver a 90 nano or 65 nano dual-core CPU next year. Yeah, when Pigs Fly !!! Intel is just Spinning to save face and deter as many AMD sales as possible while Intel regroups from being castrated by Opteron/A64. Nice reality check for the Satan.

i have been an intel fanboy for a while... but i saw the light... a green light.
with the athlon64 processors... i don't see any reason going back to intel.
ever since the p4 came out, intel has gone downhill. Intel processors are overpriced and not worth the money intel wants you to fork over. and isn't it strange that netburst went netbust and intel is going back to a more athlon/ centrino design.
hyper-threading is a joke and intel is going to try to get a dual-core out b4 amd does. i'm just wishing amd puts out a dual core b4 intel, as intel really needs a swift kick in the market share before they start to wise up.

HAHAHA! DIE P4! DIE!
Finally, Intel has woken up and realised P4/Netburst is a waste of silicon. (Very inefficient chip).

'There are rumours that all chips are to feature Pentium M-like architecture'.
Why would they do that when they can produce instead iAMD-64, they have cross license agreement, so if you can't beat the enemy - Join Them!

To whom it may concern,
Hi, my name is Philip Theo - Managing Director of Australian MIS Agency and Pisch Tazan Fazan group of companies with offices in Iran and Australia.
We have establishments at the above countries as below:
* Australia offices to be sourcing out the products, selecting companies to deal with, organizing meetings and ordering products.
* Iran is our main focus for business as we have showrooms and warehouse bases.
With main offices in Teheran and Ahvas, we are able to service the whole country. We have been established there under the banner of Pisch Tazan Fazan for over 20 years.
We would like you to join us in a business venture.
Firstly, we would like to apoligise to you before we even begin this venture. Due to the limited access to the internet in Iran, we will be asking you to forward us your CD's, Catalogues and price lists (an approximate) on various products to Australia, or if you wish to our head office in Iran. On request, we would forward the address to you.
As we have found previously in trying to suorce products, most maufactorers do produce a vast variety of products. So we do not waste everyone's time, we would like you to provide us, if possible, all your product catalogues.
Example; looking for TV's - (send CD's, catalogues.)
As you can realise, the need of everything for our establishments in Iran is important, due to the 20 years not being able to trade with most countries in the world.
We would like you, if you have an interest in engaing any business with us, to treat this matter urgent and respond to us as soon as possible.
If the above is of no interest to you, please let us know via email, and we will not contact you again.
Please do not send the information by email, as you know, we can get it from the internet. We would like for you to post us the information, as we feel it is more proffessional for our business presentation.
If there is any doubt in your mind about our company, we welcome you to visit our establishment in Iran any time. It would be a great pleasure to accomodate you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Philip Theo

I was getting ready to look to buy one, and then they all of a sudden backed out, why? That's what I call B.S. I don't understand why?
