Just as PC enthusiasts were recovering from the overwhelming response that Intel's Core 2 Duo processor range has received from the press in its entirety, the company has announced that it plans to cram two chips onto one and make them available in Q4, 2006.

What this means for the gamer is that although rushing and getting an Intel Core 2 Duo processor may be extremely tempting, waiting until holiday season 2006 may be a wiser path to follow as 4 cores are better than 2 while the Core 2 Duo range will almost definitely receive some price reduction.
