San Francisco, Sep 27 (DPA) Intel said it would start selling a computer chip with four processors in November, reclaiming the lead in chip development from its smaller rival Advanced Micro Devices.

Intel, the world's largest chipmaker, also plans to manufacture chips with 80 processors on board within five years, Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini said at a Intel Developer Forum.

Displaying an early prototype of the 80 processor chip Ottelini said the chips would be capable of exchanging data at a terabyte a second, and will be between 50 and 70 percent faster than the current dual-core chips, Otellini said, according to the computer news website Cnet.com.

Each core will run at over 3 gigahertz and could utilize the company's recent breakthrough in developing tiny silicon-based lasers.

Intel said its first quad-core processors would hit markets in November. They would be aimed at extreme gamers and high-end servers and would be followed by mainstream desktop models in the first quarter of next year.

"With this new set of dual and quad-core processors, we have regained our leadership," said Otellini who predicted that popularity of Internet video phenomenon such as YouTube, would drive demand for the powerful new processors.
