Chicago (IL) - AMD and Intel are getting close to the launch dates of their first dual-core processors. While AMD is likely to be first to announce its dual-core, Intel has begun briefing system manufacturers on its next generation dual-core Pentium D, Tom's Hardware Guide has learned. "Presler" will be manufactured in 65 nm, run at up to 3.4 GHz and come with 4 MByte L2 cache.

Intel leaves no doubt that it follow through on the bold dual-core processor promises it made at its Spring developer forum in San Francisco. The switch from a 90 to a 65 nm manufacturing process will bring a new desktop and notebook processor generation that will succeed the current Pentium M, Celeron M, Pentium 4 5xx, Pentium 4 6xx and Pentium D/EE 8xx early in 2006.
