I'm happy that all the processors are getting delayed

It's going to give applications a time to catch up, so that when Penryn is finally being retired it will be a noticable upgrade to a 3.2Ghz overclocked e2180 that I see everybody buying lately.

Games too; only Crysis makes use of 4 cores, and by the looks of it, it only actually benefits from 3 total.

We need more games that need quad core to make upgrading not feel like a waste of money!

Heck yeah! Hooray for reduced year-on-year worker productivity! Hooray for reduced rate of decline in power consumption of entire fleets of corporation's desktops!

Hoooray hooray hooray for computing's slowdown! If it weren't for these delays just think of all the pesky side-effects that we have avoided (like more sophisticated products that would have been designed with those silly stupid fast computers...were they not delays)

Hooray!

Sarcasm? Around here? Never!!

All sarcasm aside. I agree I think maybe ! Its a long shot! But Software just could catch up with hardware given the added 1 month delay of Q Penryn on the desk top!!///////

Supreme commander benefits from quad.

The point would be that not everyone needs to benefit from the next generation of desktop consumer CPU's before someone can benefit from them.

Some people can't get away from the "its all about me" reference frame for some perspective on the world around them.

I for one hope the scientists who are attempting to design cures for cancer get access to faster and cooler running quadcore computers sooner instead of later.

For a good share of the computational chemistry modeling software that gets used to do in silico pharmecutical modeling (QASAR, Guassian, MolPro, NWChem, Jaguar, etc) this software is most typically purchased to run on a desktop computer. (I know from experience) This is more true for academic insitutions than for corporate R&D centers.
