Lullabye_Muse writes "From engadget we learn that AMD has plans for putting 4 cores on one die by the time Apple has fully gone to Intel processors. Full story here. They say they could eventually have up to 32 cores with scalable technology, but most programs haven't even got the ability to hyperthread, so do we really need the extra cores?"

    To whomever modded my post above "troll". It is not a troll, as it is factually correct and my intent is not solely to goad people. It's fact, presented in an insulting manner. Therefore it is more correctly "flamebait". Learn to mod, idiots!
