Imagine our surprise when we learned that the current E8x00 series of Penryn has a bug that would prevent this dual-core to work in a Quad-core.

Traditionally, Intel’s quad-core is two dual-cores stitched together; but currently they cannot do it, as they don’t want to talk to each other.

Intel is supposed to have a new core revision that will solve this problem, and we have already heard that the first systems with 45nm mainstream Yorkfield should hit the market by the end of the month.

They almost get away with it.
