Having recently released their new Core 2 Duo chips, Intel are about to release a quad core version (!). It packages 2 core 2 cpus in the same package, and uses the same LGA 775 socket, so its a drop in replacement (just need a compatable BIOS). Release date is this month !
Specs are awesome.

See Intel's Core 2 Quadro Kentsfield: Four Cores on a Rampage | Tom's Hardware UK and Ireland (http://tomshardware.co.uk/2006/09/10/four_cores_on_the_rampage_uk/)
for a review.

Better get saving up me pennies !

Is there any point 4 Quad Core yet?
Just seems like were only just seeing software written 4 dual core.
The numbers look good. But just seems like a waste of money at the moment.
