4 Cores? 6 Cores? Do You Care?

An anonymous reader writes "Intel has updated its processor price list earlier today. Common sense suggests that Intel may not care that much anymore whether its customers know what they are actually buying. One new six-core processor slides in between six-core and quad-core processors – and its sequence number offers no clues about cores, clock speed, and manufacturing process. If we remember the gigahertz race just a decade ago, it is truly stunning to see how the CPU landscape has changed. Today, processors carry sequence numbers that are largely meaningless."

More Cores, More Power

[Anonymous Coward]

Would you want to have a 4 inch penis? Don't you think a healthy 6 or 8 inches might be better?

I have a quad core, which I'm confident will soon become the equivalent of a 4 inch penis. I'll have to upgrade my e-peen when it become affordable.

Seriously though, if you like to game on your computer there is no such thing as too much power.

My wife says it doesn't matter how many cores I have!

Of course, my wife also said she wanted 10 inches... I just told her, "Screw you! I am NOT having it shortened!"
