I would say it's about stability, then nothing for a long time and then performance and power consumption.

Where's the Phenom II X6?

[citation][nom]dark_knight33[/nom]You're industry is the most protected. FFS, you can't return retail opened software, even if the actual product is completely non-functional, only exchange in case of bad media. Until software companies have to start accepting responsibility for the constant string of failures, I'm not going to wait for you to come down off your soap box, I'll come kick it out from underneath of you.[/citation]

To true. I remember when I bought GTA vice city, kept freezing, went back to eb games, exchange only, ok. Get back home, same problem, had my mother switch again. 3rd copie same f'ing problem wtf!!!! Still can't return for refund. That game overheated old gen ps2's I guess (had the gt3 bundle), hence the crashing, I had to open my ps2 and place a stove top fan on it just to play the damn game. GTA 4 (lol rockstar?) was another perfect example, I was running at 6-12 fps in a dual core 3.2 with a 4850 & 4 gigs ddr2, with all settings at minimum, wtf is 6 fps??? Still couldn't return it although Steam accepted returns, not everywhere did...

Anyways I can't wait to see a 12 core desktop cpu =D, can't wait to see what it will be like in 2 decades (but please no f'ing cloud computing forced on all home users :|....)

so intel launched yet? or latter

Give me more cores! I am in the process of designing a security program that will take advantage of the massive parallelization of modern CPU's and GPU's. This parallel processing is necessary to crunch the amount of data this system will be handling and still retain acceptable performance.

We are on the cusp of an information interface revolution. Once rich, viable 3d interfaces become mainstream, this parallel processing will be necessary. When it begins to happen it will be quick. You will see all the major players quickly adopt this technology. The webpage you are viewing now will seem prehistoric by comparison.

At what point will adding more cores become impractical? What is the point of dimishing returns?
