Intel core 2 duo PCs revealed
Filed Under Hot off the Press
In an extravagant party, Intel has unveiled their new premium product, the Core 2 duo and Core 2 duo extreme processors for high end workstations and home PCs, with major PC manufacturers like Dell and Gateway making announcements about their own offerings powered by this CPU.
Pricing for the desktops will probably start from USD1050 upwards, with the sky as the limit ( or at least around USD5000 ). It’s supposed to offer increased speed and efficiency and uses less power. Gamers who have tried the Core 2 Duo have also said the new processors offer a much smoother gaming experience.
Meanwhile, Kazaa is paying out over USD 100 million to EMI, Warner Bros Music, Sony BMG and Universal Music, and promising to turn legit.
Once the world’s most popular P2P program for sharing of files, including music MP3 files, a combination of worries over spyware and viruses among the downloaded files and lawsuits filed against users for music piracy have alarmingly decreased the number of people using this program.
All the while, anti-piracy firms working for the recording industry were flooding the system with unlistenable fake files, frustrating for the user.
All in all, it remains to be seen if Kazaa can come up with a reliable revenue model which will be key to success in it’s decision to turn legit.
