No additional cores on the horizon for the users that might need them most?
While professing that more cores are always better, it seems that the Intel hierarchy have no immediate plans to bring quad core goodness to netbooks yet. Intel Insiders KitGuru spoke to earlier today said that “Software still has a long way to go in order to make better use of multiple cores” and expressed the sentiment that it just wasn't worth it on netbooks.
KitGuru says: In light of the stinging and highly intelligent attacks made on Flash by companies like Apple, it's easy to see that the smaller the device – the MORE the need for multiple cores, to give ‘everyday users' the chance to enjoy Youtube while (virus) checking email and poking friends on MSN.
Didn’t Intel said the same thing when AMD want to bring out the first Dual/Quad Core?
VIA has a new nano chip coming out in 2011 that is quad core at 20 Watts it’s going to be packaged with VIA’s new DirectX 11 chip thats targeted for Netbooks and NetTops. Intel has no choice but to come out with it or loose market share. Just like what TNCS just said. It’s just going to happen regardless of what the Intel CEO says. It’s just the way it is.
