Soon after AMD announced its new triple-core Phenom processor, the jokes began. Some people think a multicore processor with an odd number of cores is...well, odd. Others ridiculed AMD for making triple-core chips by disabling one core on a defective quad-core die. Intel CEO Paul Otellini cracked, "We see a distinct advantage in having all the cores on our dies work." Actually, there's nothing odd about an odd number of processors. For 30 years we've had PCs with only one processor, and that's an odd number.
