A lot of people prefer single core solutions, but there is a lot of glory to be had by having the fastest single card on the market, whether dual chip or not...
Actually, what he was saying is that AMD is concentrating upon what they are good at: making small, versatile chips that can maximize yields on a per wafer basis.

High yields and more cores per wafer can equate a lower pricing structure through higher volume while still retaining profit margins.

Having the highest performance single core graphics card allows for bragging rights and not much else if a company is struggling to cope with low yields.

Personally, I'd love to see AMD compete one on one with NVIDIA's best. BUT....I would MUCH rather see their GPU division stay afloat and that means avoiding huge and expensive monolithic dies.
