APCMag has tested Intel's latest Core i7 processor architecture that does away with the Front Side Bus and replaces it with the company's QuickPath Interconnect and has (back from the dead) hyperthreading. "This month, Intel moves on from the Core microarchitecture to the next generation of processors for mobile, desktop and servers, codenamed Nehalem and officially named the Core i7 family. We've spent a few weeks with Intel's test kit for the new desktop part, codenamed Bloomfield, as well as the new compatible motherboard chipset the X58 Express, codenamed Tylersburg."

Yeah, anyway serious people don't need more than a typewriter...
Did you hear of image processing, video processing, music processing, software compilation, 3d rendering, scientific visualisation/research, voice recognition, network servers, the list goes on... Well basically, there are tons of people actually needing cpu's to process things.
