On the topic, Does anyone know if the new Phenom (Quad core AMD brand) chips will have the same power stepping issues as the X2 AMD chips do? Are any of the newer AMD X2 chip revisions going to fix this issue? The 0x10 chips (aka Quad Core/Phenom) will have a CPU frequency independent

about 99% of all software available today is programmed to run on a single core processor - Sander Sassen (Oct 20, 2006) It may well be true, especially if you count by applications. But most applications won't benefit from multi-threading. Most of the heavy applications I actually
