Intel will stop the production of 4 core CPUs in 2010

Intel has revealed its Roadmap concerning the engraving of the processors in 32nm that will be followed in 2010.
The foundry will give up the processors equipped with 4 cores:
- at the entry level and for the portables, they will offer of Core i7 which will also contain a graphic part about which we know little.
- For the high-end, the processors will have at least 6 cores, this number becoming the new reference for Intel and they will also offer CPUs that containing more.
It will be a real challenge for the developers and we understand better why Apple wanted to make a pause in the addition of functions to Mac OS X and instead to devote itself to manage the multiplication of the processors as well as possible. Without this, one would find a situation where the additional cores would spend most of their time awaiting instructions that would never arrive.
