Hi everyone the quad core has finally been released. This time Intel has taken the leap after losing to AMD in the Duo core war. The new chip is called "Kentsfield" this sounds weird right compared to the core 2 duo u r listening now. PCs are rumored to increase 70 percent.
Intel originally planned to launch the CPU in Q1 of 2007, but informed press and analysts during the Q2 earnings conference call that it will be introducing the chip for a late 2006 availability.

Kentsfield, which industry sources refer to as "Core 2 Quadro," arrived as a 2.67 GHz version with a 266 MHz/1066 MHz FSB. The test engineers were able to adjust the FSB to 1333 MHz - which is still supported by the 975X chipset - and overclock the CPU by about 25%. The benchmarks were conducted with clock speeds ranging from 2.0 GHz to 3.33 GHz.
Kentsfield easily shattered previous benchmarks records and highlighted its horsepower especially in threaded applications such as audio and video processing. The chip was able to set new record levels in traditional benchmarks such as 3DMark 05 and 3DMark 06 as well. Overall, Kentsfield turned out to be about twice as fast as the Pentium EE 965, while consuming about the same power. And while power consumption is up significantly from the Core 2 Extreme, the chip still undercuts the Pentium EE 840.
The Kentsfield's four processing cores may or may not speed up your productivity because some applications aren't programmed to take advantage of the extra cores.
You will see a slight improvement with photo editing software like Photoshop. In a Photoshop CS2 benchmark that converted 150 photos from nine mega-pixels to .8 mega-pixels, the Core 2 Quad was about 6% faster than the Core 2 Duo E6700 and took 88 seconds versus 94 seconds.
