AMD to ship dual-core Neo, Istanbul this quarter

21.04.2009

AMD is in a continuous race with Intel to put more cores on chips to improve performance while drawing less power. Intel in 2010 will release the eight-core Nehalem EX processors, which will enable servers to have up to 64 cores. AMD plans to follow Istanbul with the 12-core chip code-named Magny-Cours in 2010.
