Doesn't really matter what company is in your area. We are offered 10Mbps DSL in our neighborhood, but when you contact them about it you are informed that you will only get 4Mbps at max due to proximity to a substation, oh and by the way it will still be $50/month but we are so gracious to you that your prices won't change for 24 months. That is their selling point. "We won't raise prices on you."
What if there was a Core of a say Quad or Hex or Octo etc. processor that only parted out processes to the other Cores. It's sole job would be to part out and reconcile various operations. This would make the other Cores much more efficient by getting them the right information completely separate from software.
