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."

Stuff Intel they support fascism in Israel

Boycott Intel, boycott Israel! Switching to AMD processors is too easy and sends a strong message that the 9 shot dead, the 5 shot dead and throw overboard and the 34 wounded. Then we had the media lie of forged video, $1M in stolen equipments, the refusal of the New Zealand lead UN investigation...

So stuff Intel and buy AMD.

I do care. I do.

I now want spend money on every bit of my machine. The main problem is all the games I want to buy have some sort of DRM. So there has been no need to upgrade as I WILL NOT buy drm games that would spark an upgrade. I’ve saved a fortune on games and parts so far. So DRM hurts hardware sale too.
