Presler Is A Single-Core Dual-Core
Presler Is A Single-Core Dual-Core
One fact that is particularly surprising is Intel's way of creating multi-core processors. The first offering, Smithfield, will incorporate two processor cores with 1 MB L2 cache each into a single die; AMD is doing the same. However, Presler will take a different approach, merging two Cedar Mill type dies (2 MB L2 each) into one package in order to create a dual-core processor.
This latter method enables better selection possibilities, to increase the yield rate on dual-core products. It will also give Intel tremendous flexibility in how it reacts to market demands. Should AMD be successful with bringing their Athlon 64 / FX single-core series forward as they plan to, there will likely be faster Pentium 4 Processors based on the single-core 65 nm Cedar Mill chip.
