Intel shows off quad-core gaming power (video)
Why do we need quad-core processors? The answer is as old as the question itself: gaming and video rendering.
Rendering a video makes for lousy demonstration, so Intel again opted for the game demonstration at its Intel Developer Forum today in San Francisco.
But as we were rendering the video below, I was dying for a nice multi-core processor to replace the old single core model that currently powers my laptop.

Intels Quad core processors as i am led to believe are in fact 2 dual-core's stuck together where in fact AMD have managed to produce a true Quad core
