AMD dual cores to be superfast

AMD HAD ITS TRADITIONAL counter-IDF briefing today, and it was not all that full of new products. Last IDF it had enough dual core parts there to satisfy almost everyone, this time it had one in the display room, and a couple of other toys.

The biggest news is that the dual core parts will be fast, very very fast. If you are wondering, the first dual core parts out of the box will run at 2.4GHz, possibly more. The one show in the Alienware box below, not an Alienware product, just a cool case, was a production model. It came in a production package with a production bar code. I am pretty sure that the launch will happen early, I am just not sure how many they will put out in the first round of launches.

The other item of note that caught my eye was the Voodoo Envy in an off lime green color. This AMDish green had the AMD logo 'tattooed' on it. Now, for all the raving fanboys out there, your laptop has arrived. You too can own a limited edition greenish laptop with an AMD logo on it and a vine holding it up. Buy 12, now.
