Corr, another chip from Intel that gives it 4 brains!

I've just recently upgraded my desktop to a Core Duo powered machine which really is a step up from the early Pentium 4. It's the business! What's this, I read from Intel, a new "quad core Core 2 Extreme QX6700 ('Kentsfield') will begin shipping in time for the holiday season."
The chip race continues with AMD unabated and where will it all end! Intel claims the quad cores, which are essentially two dual cores sandwiched on the same chip, will give some applications as much as a 70% performance boost. The only trouble is that the software is having to play catch-up so there's not much out there that will be able to utilise that level of power.
Mankind will always strive for faster, better tools so bring it on!! I look forward to upgrading again in three years time when this will probably be a slow old version...
