Intel's low-power processor code-named Diamondville will initially be available as a single-core processor, but the company is planning a dual-core version, said a source familiar with Intel's plans. The dual-core Diamondville will deliver better performance than the single-core version and will be for low-cost desktops, the source said.
The dual-core Diamondville chip take Intel into the low-cost desktop market to compete with vendors such as Via Technologies, which is providing low-cost processors in desktops priced at less than $300 being sold by Everex.
