Dual cores are in my mind not the 'way forward' as Intel and AMD are pushing them but they will certainly fill the gap as they strive to design the next generation of cores that will push the raw Ghz barrier back even further.
I see this as a way to make it look as if the technology is progressing when in fact it is not. We all know that Intel have been finding it very difficult to keep on ramping up the core frequency of the P4, and I guess we will see AMD start to struggle more and more to ramp up their new x86-64 cores
Hey if they crack the dual core idea and the take up is good perhaps these new cores will also dual core, which can't be bad can it ?
Plus with advanced applications like voice recognition hopefully coming into their own in the next few years a seperate CPU to handle all the 'behind the scenes' stuff will be a boom.
