Boston (dbTechno) - AMD has announced plans to introduce a desktop PC processor chip with three cores by Q1 2008.
The chip with three cores will go under the Phenom brand name. AMD will also be putting the Phenom brand name on its quad-core chips which will ship out by the end of the year.
The corporate vice president of marketing and strategy Bob Brewer stated that the move by AMD was made to meet market demand.
He stated that not many software programs can use four-core processors.
The three-core Phenom chips are made almost exactly the same as the quad-core chips. The only difference is that there is one less working core, meaning less power and tasks.
Intel has stated they will put out three-core chips under the Nehalem generation brand in late 2008.
