用于桌面计算的台式机平台正在进一个全新的时代——双核时代。在过去能够与这一时代相提并论的,曾经有32位时代、Pentium时代、GHz时代, 分别始于1985年(80386问世)、1993年(Intel Pentium 66/60问世)和2000年(AMD率先发布Athlon 1GHz)。2005年5月,伴随着Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 840、Pentium D和AMD Athlon 64 X2处理器的先后发布,桌面计算又进入双核时代。什么是双核?双核有什么用处?本刊在近期已经作了不少相关报道。简单而言,双核就是在一颗处理器上集成两个处理核心,从而具备与双处理器系统相似的处理能力,在并发多任务处理时会获得大幅的性能提升。
Desktop platforms for desktop computing are entering a whole new era - dual-core era. In the past can be compared with this era, there are 32 era, Pentium era, GHz era, respectively, in 1985 (80386 advent), 1993 (Intel Pentium 66/60 advent) and 2000 (AMD first release Athlon 1GHz). May 2005, along with the Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 840, Pentium D and AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor has released, desktop computing has entered the dual-core era. What is dual-core? What is the use of dual-core? Articles have made a lot of related reports in the near future. In a nutshell, dual-core integrates two processing cores on a single processor, giving it the same processing power as a dual-processor system with dramatic performance gains in concurrent multitasking.
