Intel unveils Core 2 Duo
MercuryNews.com | 07/27/2006 | Intel unveils powerful new computer chip
Intel kicked its corporate turnaround plan into high gear Thursday with the launch of its long-awaited Core 2 Duo, a line of computer chips that boast up to 40 percent more processing power while using 40 percent less electricity than the company’s previous chips.The Core 2 Duo, so named because it squeezes two computing brains onto a single microprocessor, allows the world’s largest chip maker to leapfrog past its archrival, Advanced Micro Devices, in the race to give customers better chips to run computer servers, desktop and laptop computers.
Ah, no wonder Dell was having all those crazy sales on their current desktops. In retrospect, buying one last week probably wasn’t the best idea! Oops! Guess I should’ve kept a closer eye to Intel’s product roadmap instead of looking at discount codes.

Intel is great with PR, but the AMD chips have been outproducing Intel chips for quite some time now. They are a less expensive and better product, but are not marketed nearly as well. Ah…the power of branding.
