At the recently concluded Intel Developer Forum (IDF) , Intel made a number of surprising announcements. It was largely speculated that Intel will play catch up with AMD in the 64-bit and dual-core market, but Intel took an entirely different approach. Not only did it refuse to give much importance to dual-core and 64-bit initially, news reports later suggested that Yonah ? Intel?s next generation mobile computing platform ? will neither be dual-core nor 64-bit, at least not in its first iteration.
