You are grossly misinformed if you think that server applications are not multithreaded. Didn't you ever stop to wonder why folks buy servers with more than one socket?

It ain't just to run lots of different single-threaded apps at once.

You do realize that the application software doesn't care if the cores on are on one device, or spread around multiple sockets, right?

And why do you think AMD's DC parts gave them such a crushing advantage when Intel had none (or lame ones, a la Paxville), and drove their marketshare up nicely?

Hello?

Then again, I guess you're the guy who thought AMD would be at $17 last month, and now you're "calling" for a $20 drop.

Maybe these predictions were based on a complete misunderstanding of the nature of server applications?

"Way too early for QC. Software isn't here for DC."

Sinc some people seem to be overly sensitive, I will rephrase. Why are you under the impression that there isn't any software for servers and/or workstations that can take advatange of dual core, much less quad core? This is a startling statement...
