    I'm curious where do you see usage of more than four cores in your daily usage?

    Holding back on X4 945/955/965 and gettin a X2 550BE as an interim CPU is finally paying off.....

    I'm not suggesting anything, just asking 'cos I fail to see the point of the desktop CPU beyond four cores... since I accept possibility of being short sighted I'm asking you guys where do you see Hexa-Core desktop usage?

    Actually only thing that can see benefits of ever more CPU cores is in Pro rendering and animation software... but those people who're seriously in that business usually go for Dual, or even quad-Socket rendering rigs.

    Only thing that's left as a demanding task for average Joe is video transcoding for YouTube or iPod-like usage, and thanks to the power of GPUs many-core CPUs are pointless...

    When it comes to gaming even the best threaded 3D engines are struggling to fully utility quad-Core CPUs... maybe that'll change with DX11... maybe!

    IMHO that additional silicon for two more cores would be better used with GPU "co-processor"
