The End of the Pentium
Filed in archive PC Hardware by Eric Hanson on July 27, 2006
that in many ways changed the face of personal computing forever. Intel, with its usual sense of hubris, calls the Duo "the greatest processor in the world" and then went about slashing prices on its older processors to match price cuts by AMD earlier this week.Will the Duo have the same effect on the development of computers that the Pentium did? Will we look back 12 years from now to find that computing power has increased 300 times the way processor speed did? My feeling is yes - part makers haven't run out of new and innovative ways to shrink things or make them much more powerful and I think this trend will continue for as long as there's money to spend on computers.
