Review: OCAU
_________
On 28th July 2006 Intel will start retailing “Core 2 Duo”, a line of dual core desktop products based on the Conroe core and powered by the new Core micro-architecture. Unlike before, Intel will from now on use the same micro-architecture for desktop, mobile and server processors. Core 2 Duo will soon be followed by “Merom” for laptops and “Woodcrest” for servers. All of them are dual core products. For early 2007 Intel is planning a Core based quad-core version codenamed “Kentsfield”. Intel is still the dominant microprocessor manufacturer and you can bet that over the coming years millions of PC around the world will be powered by products based on the new design.
