they are going 2 run out of mhz for cores.
i'll tell you what i don't get, is the people that buy dual dual core computers, if they haven't even optimized dual core software yet, why the hell do you need two dual cores, or in this case 4 cores, like what are you going to do, play fear, bf2, and encode a dvd, listen to music, virus scan, defrag, and whatever else you might want to do
also, i don't think single core should die, because they can fit more transistors in a single core, and therefore make it fatser than a dual core, so if you don't plan on multitasking, shouldn't you have the option to get an ultra fast single core like the fx-57 or in the future, some other uber cpu?
First and foremost how can ANY anylist make assumptions like these without ANY specs being given out by Intel or without any inside knowledge? This crap is the stuff that feeds the AMD vs Intel threads. This is a stupid article by some guy who knows nothign of the Proc Specs... yet MOST all just eat it up.... s-h-e-e-p.

"PCWorld says that industry analyst are predicting that Intel’s quad core performance may be less than stellar. I seriously wonder how ANY industry analyst can even make that claim when Intel hasn’t even released a single ounce of information on the upcoming processor. Do these analyst have crystal balls...or just big brass ones?"
And oh yeah, you can throw this review in with the thread of the guy who got the 7900GTX... LOL!
