2006, the year of Dual core processors, has ended, and what a year it was. Intel made the ultimate comeback and outdid AMD with the Core 2 Duo Processor. So what does Intel have in store for us in 2007?
In the CES 2007 that will take place next week in Las Vegas, Intel main marketing push will be their Core 2 Duo Processor line.
Throughout the event, Intel will highlight its in-home and on-the-go product lines and entertainment- and gaming-related partnerships that build upon the introduction of the Intel Core 2 Duo processor families and the new PC multi-core era.
All of Intel's demonstrations, announcements and highlights at CES will focus on showing how the company's multi-core innovation is fuelling new online services, capabilities, experiences and possibilities for consumer technology.
