SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (INTC.O: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Thursday it was canceling plans to introduce its highest-speed Pentium 4 chip for desktop computers, marking another in a string of unexpected product changes, cancellations or recalls at the world's largest chip maker.
The Santa Clara, California-based chip maker plans to shift engineers and other resources to accelerate the introduction of "dual core" chips, which contain two microprocessors in a single chip. Intel has said it plans to introduce dual-core chips for desktops, servers and notebooks sometime next year.
"It's not an easy decision to walk away from 4 gigahertz because we had a public position, but in our view for Intel and for our customers it's the right decision," Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said, referring to the speed of what was to be the highest-speed Pentium 4.
Bella fregatura per me che volevo upgradare il mio P4 2.8 800Mhz!
