sourceIntel chief executive Paul Otellini believes that the world's biggest chip maker can get its mojo back by putting more processor cores on a single chip than the competition can.
Starting in November, Intel will put four cores -- or computing brains -- on a single chip that will be as much as 70 percent faster than the company's fastest chips today, Otellini said at the opening of the Intel Developer Conference in San Francisco on Tuesday. Computers with these chips will be able to juggle more tasks at the same time, running security applications in the background while the user employs other programs.
The twice-a-year event at the Moscone West convention center has become Intel's best way to win over the hearts and minds of industry engineers and programmers. By using its manufacturing muscle and sheer engineering resources as an advantage, Intel is stepping up the pace of its product introductions. The company introduced a whole raft of chips during the summer, but now it is lining up customers for the ``quad core'' chips coming later this year.
