Samsung Electronics on Tuesday unveiled a desktop PC with a next generation CPU, Intel's Core 2 Quad. With Core 2 Quad, the Magic Station BP 60 has as many as four built-in cores, which dramatically expands its multitasking ability, the firm says. Priced in the range of W2.2 million(US$1=W930), the PC has a 1GB DDR2 667MHz memory, 320 GB SATA2 hard disk and Nvidia GeForce 7650 512MB graphic card. It will be introduced in January.

Samsung Electronics said that Quad Core CPU with four cores had previously been used for servers or some desktop PCs for professional use. But now it expects the model to become popular among users who play 3D games and want HD images and digital media editing that requires high specification.
