Ain't technology grand? Gordon Moore was correct. As someone who owns a
dual processor 533MHz G4 PowerMac, I certainly understand development
time, time to market, and timed obsolescence.
Processor design is now more easily tailored towards an intended
application. The Xbox processor series is a case in point.
Found a paper on the WEB entitled "Multicore, dual-core, and the future
of Intel". It is a bit dated, but interesting.

Oopps, excuse me. It already is obsolete. The Xbox is a PPC tri-core
system with each core running at 3.62 GHz and a 500 MB ATI graphics
card???
No blinking allowed, folks. A quiet ... my gosh, will be sufficient.
