  Date set for phase 2 of Intel's Core launch
Time: 00:51 EST/05:51 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

Intel has set the date for the introduction of its next-generation PC chip as it moves forward through one crazy summer.

The Core 2 Duo will be unveiled at an event scheduled for July 27 at Intel's headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., a company spokesman confirmed Tuesday. Intel CEO Paul Otellini and other executives will be on hand to unveil the chip that marks the end of Intel's Pentium era.

After a six-year run, Intel's Netburst class of processors is on its way out in favor of the new Core chips. The latest chip, the dual-core Pentium D, was fine for many people's needs. But gamers and high-end PC users preferred the performance of Advanced Micro Devices' Athlon 64 X2 chips, and low-end buyers developed a growing interest in AMD's inexpensive chips at the other end of the performance scale. The combination allowed AMD to take the lead among retail PC buyers at points during the last year, although Intel recently regained that mantle.
