An Apple with Two Cores?

CUPERTINO, CA -- In an effort to keep pace with the technology innovations of Intel and AMD, Apple Computer is considering dual-core processors for its future products according to an unnamed industry analyst. It appears that the coming trend in CPUs will be dual-core units, which as the name suggests, contain two processors within one chip.

The reason for this innovation is because of the inability of most chip-makers to develop a single-core chip that will run at 4.0 GHz. Apparently micro-miniturization is reaching a limit where just too much heat is being created by a single-core.

An unnamed insider at Apple suggested that there may be another reason for the switch. "You didn't hear this from me," he said, "but the Quality Control people have been finding a lot more worms in our Apples lately".
