Intel Corp. may be planning to once again speed-up its quad-core offering next quarter and introduce a chip with four processing engines with 1333MHz processor system bus (PSB), a rather unexpected, but a very logical move of the world’s largest maker of x86 microprocessors.
I wonder why they didn't come up with FSB1333 for quad core, in the first place. A person should be motivated to buy a quad core these days with the heavy price tag, given that there are hardly any software that would take advantage of the extra two cores. Higher FSB will be a compelling reason for some enthusiasts to buy C2Q.
