March 2009!!!!! I was expecting octo cores from intel by then.....

I thought amds' quads were coming out in november or some shit... Are the tri cores a more advanced technology than quad cores or something??
<--- thats me right there

no, thats just when they have finished the quad cores, scooped up the leftovers, roasted, toasted and added special herbs and spices to get yer spankin new tri cores

it DOES take time ya know! slow roastin and all..

that cpu is made by IBM too. Its almost a CELL PRocessor, but not...hard to explain. Anywho, Id be interested in a tri core cpu <G>

Well they need time to build stockpiles of defective chips. They'll wait until they have enough to comfortably sell without running out. Whereas they can just sell quad cores because there will be more of them.

im still wanting to know for certain are they really defective quads or not. if defective with just 3 cores active but access to a quads worth of cache, that would be nice and decent, with headroom for overclocking. but id like to also see some native tri cores just for the hellov it

Are you taking about the xbox 360 cpu? It's just a slow triple core PPC like what was used in Macs (except not fast like the G4s).
And I mean those things are slow. The transistor count is so low that each of them only performs twice as fast (realistically) as the xbox 1's 700 mhz PIII.
I think they should have went for a dual-core x86. Would've solved their backward compatibility issues and been faster, too. They just wanted to sound cool. "Oh, look! We have a triple core 3.2 ghz cpu. It's so fast!!!". Douches. That's all M$ are.

I like the idea of tri core... that does not mean we are going to have 5, 6, 7 cores! But here is the thing, for us getting these CPUs, they will make a difference BUT when you have the L3 cache so all the cores to communicate, then tri core is not really worth it, and quad is.

Yeah, that post didn't make any sense. :confused:

Tri-core = same as quad except that one core disabled.
