Intel launches its new Core 2 Duo processors

Microprocessor giants Intel have now launched its new Core 2 Duo processor lineup on Thursday. This would further boost their offense against their smaller rivals AMD.

Intel claims that their new dual-core chip comes with better performance and greater energy efficiency.

The company added that this processor range launch is their most significant launch ever since the introduction of the original Pentium processor in 1993.

Intel CEO, Paul Otellini added: “This is not just an incremental change… This is a revolutionary leap.”

Tim Bailey, director of platform marketing at Intel Asia-Pacific had these views: “We’re really bullish on Core 2 Duo and we believe that it’s going to enable us to grow a significant amount of (market) share over the second half of the year. That’s our goal.”
