I think apple should look into using that new Cell processor IBM, Toshiba, and Sony are working on. It is the only true multicore processor in procution. It will have something on the scale of ten cores in each chip. Compare that to AMD and Intel's rinky dink dual core phlim phlam. I say phlim phlam because the Intel Chip isn't really a dual core, but two dies on one chip. I see true dual core similar to AMD's chip. Both cores run off the same bus, unlike Intels, and the Chips can use shared onboard cache. this reduces task intervals and drastically speeds up processing. Intel's is more like Hyperthreading to the next level.

Here's the limit of my interest in faster chips (click the logo):

(what's the proportion of people who want faster chips and people who need faster chips?)
