EETimes.com reports on the most recent AMD analyst conference call, during which it was revealed that the chip manufacturer plans to release quad-core processors by 2007. The previous AMD road map had such a CPU being released in 2008. AMD also has plans to release a reference platform for notebooks, to speed up the time it takes to bring such products to market.

if you look at server performance with multi-cpu systems (not multicore but still similar) you see that after about 8 cores you get diminishing returns...well actually before 8 cores. so i dont know how this is gonna speed up performance that much for a workstation kindof deal unless programmer REALLY start coding for it.

We should be concerned about stuff like this; it's an an indication that it's getting more and more difficult to increase the speed of a single core. Writing highly-parallel code that takes strong advantage of threading isn't that easy, and still doesn't yield the performance increase you'd often hope for.

and it will still draw less energy and emit less heat than singlecore Intels, right?
