Thank you

Was going to post the same thing, but you've already done so with a good deal more technical insight then I would have been able to give.

Here's a question for Apple though. They've been selling 8 core desktops for years now. Are they now saying that, until SL, those have been a waste of money for folk that shelled out for those 8 cores? Cause that's what I'm hearing.

Being sarcastic of course, as its been known for sometime that 8 cores is ridiculus overkill for anything outside a server environment. Even 4 cores have only over the last year proven themselves to be useful as Windows apps take advantage of aforementioned tech that Apple is claiming to be trailblazing with. It's nice to see Apple admit that they've been overcharging consumers - even if indirectly.
