72-percent in USA are Gamers?

Multi core SUCKS??
Then WHY in hell did THEY follow this path?
MORE MONEY…SUCKERS..

Back to Multi CPU, and an AMIGA core.

72% gamers?
Are they including Free Cell and Solitaire?

J/P=?

John:

Didn’t read the article, but taking down a web site for political (or religious) reasons may indeed be similar the book burning….

Simply removing an old page, OTOH, probably isn’t. Depends on the archiving issues, I suppose.

Multi-core seems to be essentially hype. Same sort of thing as the multiple-processor hardware that was promoted a few years ago. If the software can’t use it, who cares?

If, OTOH, the software _can_, then some interesting stuff will happen, once in a while. Mostly, though, multi-threaded apps are custom crunchers, like games or what used to run on a Cray. There’s little reason to bother, given today’s incredibly powerful hardware, to use any of that to run Internet Explorer or Office….

But it sounds good….

I am beginning to feel like this multi core ideal was just a marketing scam. We cannot go any faster right now. So I guess they had to reinvent themselves.I realize that some speed improvements have happened with the multi cores. But I wonder how much was marketing fluff?

DRAWING THE WRONG AUDIENCE???

Just draw a picture, and leave the Audience Out of it.
Multi core on a SERIAL interface…REALLY dont make sense to me.

72%??

???
i LIKE THAT NUMBER..
its really funny.
Because I cant count more then 60% of the USA have a computer.
and 20-30% of the USA is OLD folks..
30+ % are under $10 per hour..and cant afford GAS, and forget $200+ for a Wii.. and thats NOT counting Social security, and The rest..

72% of those that HAVE COMPUTERS?? that Could be possible.

But, i find it MORE possible that EVERYONE is looking at SOME SORT of entertainment, that dont COST LOTS OF MONEY. Including just PLAIN cards games.. any one want to play OLD MAID??
