This year's Computex Taipei exhibition, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has displayed several desktop PCs and notebook PC using powerful 64-bit CPUs, which the company foresees the 64-bit CPU to become mainstream in desktop PC.
Not fallen behind the 64-bit CPU is Intel, which plans to replace all existing 32-bit CPU in the second half of 2005. 64-bit processors can deal with a much larger amount of data in a fixed amount of time than can 32-bit wares. Twin-core chips can do more complicated processing work like simultaneously process multimedia data and scan viruses when they are playing DVD movies. It also improved to be an excellent solution to boosting processing efficiency without raising clock speed, which is the major factor behind high temperature in the processors.
Intel recently canceled its plan to develop Pentium IV processors processing data at 4GHz per second and began developing twin-core chips on temperature concern. However, Intel's twin-core processors will remain high at the beginning because of the sophisticate technology for packaging the two core chips onto the same printed circuit board. Intel estimated four out of 10 computers to be equipped with twin-core 64-bit processors in 2006 worldwide.
