I was mentioning UltraSparcT2 (8-core CPU) which Sun anounced sometime in mid 2007 to market it.
Intel already schedules to lauch 6-core CPU later2008/early2009 followed by 8-core CPU in 2010.
Nowadays the only true quad core CPU on the market is produced by Intel, not core2 dual. Its price is quite expensive. AMD has problem on Phenom unsolved therefore they have to disable one core making it 3 core CPU.
I'm NOT in a hurry to get a quad core CPU. I'm quite happy with AMD dual core CPU. I'll wait for 6/8 core CPU on the market. Unless the price of the true quad core CPU drops dramatically. Otherwise I'll keep my hands off it.
I ceased running 32 bits OS for sometimes eversince AMD marketed their 64bit CPU. All the PCs running here are of 64bit architecture.
