Intel to go four-core in early 2007
By Jon Stokes | Published: February 11, 2006 - 12:08PM CT
News reports are hitting the wires that Intel plans to release a four-core processor for two-socket systems in late 2006 or early 2007. The quad-core chip, codenamed Clovertown, will bring lower end systems into the eight-core realm. A later quad-core chip, codenamed Tigerton, is planned for higher-end four-socket systems.

: 'foreshadowing' is not a good word to use in this context. 'Preview' or 'foretaste' maybe. Anything to do with 'shadows' usually has a negative context.

English term (edited):
a four-core foreshadowing of innovations to come...
a four-core PC that gives an idea of future innovations....
I think your problem is with the grammar.
Here, "four-core" is used as a noun, presumably abbreviating "four-core PC", i.e. one with four processors, and what is being suggested is that this new computer gives an idea of what is to come.

BTW, "foreshadowing of" here is a solecism (i.e. bad grammar).
