AMD, Intel Plotting Six-Core CPU Releases.

Are you ready for more cores? With both AMD and Intel already floating quad-core CPUs on the market, it"s only natural for them to dial things up a bit bigger by adding 50 percent more cores. According to a report from Digitimes, who sources its friends at Taiwanese motherboard companies, Intel will be rolling out its six-core desktop "Gulftown" processors at the end of March. The six-core Nehalem-based chip will supposedly be named the Core i7-980X and will be priced in the four-digit range. In response, AMD will launch the six-core "Thuban" 45nm chips as Phenom II X6 1075T, 1055T and 1035T models sometime in May. As always, take these reports with a grain of salt ð€“ but it"s safe to say that we"ll be seeing six-core CPUs sometime before the summer.
