What Is QuadWhat Is Quad--Core Processing?Core Processing?
QuadQuad--core processors deliver four processing core processors deliver four processing
cores in one physical processor / socket cores in one physical processor / socket
Later this year, Intel will ship
the industry’s first production
quad-core processor in the
Intel® Xeon® processor and
Intel Core™2 Extreme
processor families
Quad = 4
Leadership is about results
Intel quad-core products in
4Q’06 deliver great results
