An independent security researcher has flagged plans to reveal a proof of concept security exploit that could work remotely against any machine using Intel processors, including those used in Apple's famously secure Macs.
Intel's first dual-core Xeon processor is scheduled to arrive in the first quarter of 2006, a company executive said Monday, meaning that a competing chip from rival Advanced Micro Devices will likely arrive several months earlier.
Advanced Micro Devices introduced its dual-core desktop chips in Taiwan on Tuesday, and manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard, Acer and Lenovo Group have lined up to discuss how they will use the chips in their product lines.
The pursuit of faster CPUs has AMD and Intel back at the core.
Just as the bragging rights for dual-core chip supremacy are dying down, Intel gave the first glimpse of a quad-core chip coming next year.
Last week I had the chance to hear HP give their world view on why you should join them and Intel on Itanium for your next generation of servers.
When companies launch a brand new product it usually takes some time to weed out the niggling issues; but how many systems need to break before the situation is recognised as a disaster rather than an unfortunate blip in quality control?
Multicore processors have been around since 2005, when Intel shipped its first dual-core processor and the advantages of many cores have been widely touted, but a working model for costing software to work with them is still on its way.

Improvements to the processor, chipset and wireless components of Intel's latest mobile platform should result in a new generation of faster notebooks with longer battery life. Business systems will also get Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) for the first time, while Turbo Memory should reduce the frequency of hard disk accesses, saving power and boosting performance.
Intel's David Perlmutter showed the company's new quad-core laptop computers at the Intel Developer Conference in San Francisco. He demonstrated how video conferencing can be done in HD--even with other applications running in the background--without sacrificing power and performance.
If you thought dual cores were over the top, get ready. Intel presents the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, a single CPU with four distinct processing cores. The first quad-core CPU will remain an enthusiast part for a while, but as a glimpse of the future, it's clear that clock speed is out and core counts are in.
The main draw of Acer's latest carbon fibre flagship model is its cutting-edge components and swivel webcam. However, in terms of design, there is much room for improvement.
Apple's new Intel-powered iMac debuts earlier than expected, and Apple claims the new Core Duo CPUs offer a performance boost of two to three times that of the old iMac G5. We get a preview.
The TravelMate 8200's souped up internal components and copious features make it an undeniably attractive proposition, but its weight and dimensions make it less suited to life on the road.
The Dell Inspiron 9400 packs a solid set of multimedia features, and when configured with Intel's Core Duo processor, it has enough power to speed through virtually any task, from editing video to playing games.
