Intel's new dual-core processor Pentium D


PCs

Thursday, Intel Corp unveiled its new dual-core processor Pentium D for use in desk-top PCs. Intel Corp. vowed to sell millions of them by the end of the year reports Business Week.

"We're shipping 100,000 this quarter, and we're going to ship millions by the end of the year," said Gerald Holzhammer, vice president of Intel's Digital Home Group. "This is a big deal for us. It's the first time dual core will make a real impact on the marketplace."

Pentium D follows the release of the Pentium processor Extreme Edition -- its first-ever multi-core processor unveiled in April. Pentium D prices range from $241 to $530 with speeds from 2.8 gigahertz to 3.2 GHz. Supporting chipsets range from $38 to $42.

Also Thursday, Intel announced the launch of a business desktop platform that features a greater maximum memory, remote management tools and security features. In its current form, the business platform doesn't include dual-core chips.

The Pentium D processor and supporting chips will target home computer users, particularly those who run more than one program at once or have software that is designed to take advantage of the extra computing power of the chips' dual cores.
