It was only a handful of years ago that the idea of two CPUs in one PC seemed too excessive even for the geekiest of the tweaker set. Who’d have thought that by today we’d have chips that are, for all intents and purposes, two separate CPUs in...
It’s blisteringly fast (if not quite as fast as AMD’s best single-core chips), makes Intel’s multi-core chips look like pocket calculators and is a half decent overclocker...
