cores is a glamor marketing deal, like ive said before the only progress AND BETTERMENT desktop cpus can make from now on is in the energy efficiency department for example a 10w TDP, 3 GHZ, desktop cpu that doesnt even need a fan, would be a revolutionary breakthrough, other than that cpu companies don't really have much to offer in terms of new and improved for their marketing , if desktop processors dont lose the power drainage factor people are gonna start losing reasons to buy a desktop
I've got a quad-core computer. It's ability to run multiple high-resource programs simultaneously (without a hitch) is a huge improvement over single or even dual core computers.
Not a mac user, but octo core mac is there already a long time. Also mac looks more pro unless you want to spend allot of research and money to put together a pc.
dell and apple has the 8-core computer already out but there only workstations, i'm planning to get 8-core mac in october and just duel boot with windows.
If budget allows here's what I can get: 2 Intel Xeon E5345 Clovertowns 4GB (4x1GB) Super Talent DDR2-667 FB-DIMM Tyan 5000X motherboard (lots of SATA ports and plenty of pinouts) GeForce 8800Ultra Samsung HD501LJ 500GB HDD CM Stacker 832 X-Fi XtremeGamer 2 Dynatron server coolers (mod a 120mm on to each of them) Vista Ultimate x64 Samsung 226BW Logitech G5 Saitek Eclipse II Logitech Z-5300e speakers Shit ton of games All for less than $4500
dude u dont want a workstation u wanta gaming machine. the xeon is worse than a p4(for gaming). get the upcoming 79oi sli mobo with the upcoming qx9850(probably an 8 core), 8 gb of ddr3
Does anyone know or have an idea on what cpu ms will use in xbox 720?

You're full of crap.

Look up the word "Threading" and then just mull it over in your head for a few hours till you have a handle on it.

You can get a dual Xeon mobo and get 2 Clovertowns. Much cheaper :)
