Quote: Intel successfully launched its eagerly-anticipated Core 2 Duo desktop processor line up in the middle of July, just a week before Chief Executive Paul Otellini started talking about the company’s next move in the desktop microprocessor market. Just six days after the Core 2 Duo launch, Intel held its quarterly conference call where Otellini stated that “We notified [our] customers that we’re pulling in both the desktop and server [launch] of the first quad-core processors into the fourth quarter of this year from the first half of 2007.” This came as a big shock to me and for it to come so soon after the launch of Intel’s Core 2 Duo processors made the announcement even harder to believe. Anyway, the announcement happened and Intel has stayed true to its word – today, the chip giant is officially unveiling its first quad-core processor under the Core 2 Extreme ‘gamer’ moniker.
