AMD plans to commence its former six core desktop microprocessor in middle of 2010. This is obtainable to be their reply to Gulftown, Intel’s six cores CPU that is believed to launch in Q2 2010.

We don’t make out several information about AMD six cores but it looks like that they will revise Istanbul as well as make it more appropriate for Desktop. The huge problem for both Intel as well as AMD will be how to put all six cores in utilize, as programmers still resist to make use of four and in numerous cases even two cores, but the hope dies last.

AMD’s chip is also in 45nm, which doesn’t help at all, as Intel’s Gulftown is 32nm, which will most likely give Intel enormous clock as well as performance benefit. The logic behind is actually straightforward. Both CPUs can aspire for 130W TDP as well as Intel with 32nm and six cores can clock much superior in that power envelope. Apart from the detail you will be cool if you tell your 18 year old friends that you're a arrogant possessor of a six core CPU, we would not be expecting too much performance out of them.
