The current high-end desktop market is quickly turning into a dual core-only proposition, and as far as new releases are concerned, single core models are definitely on the endangered species list. The reasons for this shift are very clear, as dual core processing not only allows exceptional multithreaded performance, but also seamless multi-tasking and the ability to perform a high-end task (gaming), while another (encoding video) runs in the background. The clock speeds are also high enough that even demanding single-threaded games run extremely well on a dual core processor. Head on to Sharky Extreme's full test report to learn more about this 65nm Presler from Intel.
