Looks like people at Intel are Smallville lovers. (doesn't Kent's Field ring a bell?)Anyway, an octal core CPU will do no good this soon, as even a quad core CPU will not be fully exploited, maybe till 2009. It is better to make higher clocked CPUs or CPUs with higher IPC rather than multicore CPUs with current software. A 4GHz Core 2 Quad with two times the IPC of Core 2 Duos will be awesome, rather than a 3GHz Core 2 Octo. Anyway, everything depends on the software manufaturers as I said earlier. Hardware is far ahead of software (maybe not in games). The first 64-bit CPUs were released in 2004 right? Damn! We don't have 64-bit drivers even from most of the wellknown manufacturers, so no point wasting time developing software for 64-bit OSes, when the system software are not written for 64-bit.</blockquote>
