One recent processor variation of the quad core variety came out earlier than predicted. That probably is the way Intel wants to fight AMD, churning out these processors at a fast and furious pace! Lot of products have already adopted the processors. We faster performance than the dual cores processors of course.
Is it double the performance? It never could be. However how much flattening does happen will decide how many cores can one put together. If the performance starts saturating at 4 cores, will it make sense to scale up to 8!! One of major reason for the performance knee is the saturation of the system bus or the main bus to system memory.
That this is on the minds of the designers is evident from the specs for the FSB or the front side bus or the bus to the main memory has been enhanced.
