[Not a Short]

ooooh scary, you know every single core part is a defective part too. You know there used to be a defective part on the same wafer with it before it was cut. They should just throw away all those dice and not try to market single cores until they make a perfect wafer.

Along the lines of "if a tree falls in the woods...", what do you call a core that is next to an edge on a dual core wafer? What is the shape of a quad core CPU? Is there more than one shape? Can I sell irregular parallelogram quad cores under a square heat spreader? How aobut diamond shape quad cores under a square heat spreader? How about L shapes or straight lines? Once you determine how many shapes are allowed should you just cut all the cores around the edges of the wafer and turn them into single cores? Why bother trying to sell them as dual core or tri core we know they'll sell as single core. Oh wait they are defective because the wafer is round and doesn't yield nothing but quad core processors.

I'm just going to have to visit every person on the planet and inform them how computers really work and why they shouldn't purchase these defective rectangular parts that are cut from a round wafer.
