AMD is expected to launch its new dual-processing chips later this month, well ahead of schedule and its rival Intel who is working on a similar chip, CNET News.com reported Friday.
The chips, with two cores that can operate independently, could be the biggest change in personal computer technology in a decade, industry watchers say.
Having approached the limits of speed gains with traditional chips, both companies have moved to combine two chips onto one. One chip, for instance, could process a television show while the other scans for viruses, the news source said.
AMD will announce at an event April 21 in New York that the first dual-core Opteron processors are available, CNET said, citing sources familiar with the situation.
