Intel has the core 2. OK, but what is AMD going to do to beat it?

You mean the Intel Quad has 4 cores, but on two dies. AMD's will have 4 cores on one die.

So this is it, right?

To beat Intel's CONROE, AMD will resort to 4 cores. To counter this, Intel will resort to 8 cores. In response, AMD will come up with 16 cores, which in response Intel will make a 32 core CPU. To answer this, AMD's 64 core cpu will be out in no time.

I just think that having more and more cores will at some point stop improving the performance. I want to see a major improvement in the architecture of the CPU itself...

Right, now Amd's response to "conroe" is 4x4. 2 dual coroes on same mobo. When Amd goes to 4 cores, they will also, go to dual core with the same artichture has the 4 core. (Barcelona).

Im kinda sad that the future of cpu's is how many cores you can stick on a die

whatever happen to good old single core?!

Yuep

Well, it won't get above 31 cores until vista becomes mainstream because XP can only support 31 cores

I am sure they will come out with a whole new arch soon from both AMD and Intel but as of now CPU's are fast enough for any one application, and if not that application would most likely be multi-threaded, so that is why AMD and Intel are just using their currect archs.

I think you will only see (and need) a 32 core or more on a super computer er something..................Say, I wonder if there will be a true dual core GPU!!!! The 9500 X2 GPU has dual GPU's, but not dual core!!!

9500 X2? what are you talking about? the GeForce 7950GX2, i hope?
