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.
Intel plans to increase the performance of individual cores in the Itanium processor, and not just increase the number of cores to it, according to an Intel engineer.
Intel has decided to borrow the sequential naming scheme it used for its famous Pentium brand and apply it to the new Core line of chips.
Stacking chips atop one another could be the latest option that Intel might employ to increase performance over the next 10 years, a company executive said on Thursday at the Intel Developer Forum.

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.
Company president and chief operating officer Dirk Meyer is being groomed to succeed Hector Ruiz, but first he must prove that last year's engineering mistakes were an aberration.
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.
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 chipmaker adds a new chip for 2004 and moves up the launch date of an Itanium with two processors.
Intel's latest mobile platform, now officially christened Centrino Duo, introduces the Core Duo (Yonah) chip with dual CPU cores. This and other developments should deliver useful -- if not revolutionary -- increases in notebook performance and battery life.
Toshiba's Satellite Pro P100 is a competent multimedia workhorse that could easily replace most regular desktop PCs. It boasts powerful graphics and storage subsystems, while the Harmon/Kardon integrated speaker set beats most competing offerings hands-down.
