I'm not sure about that. Efficient single cores are perfect for nice tiny little low budget laptops. And that market is still growing.
Years ago that might have been the case, but given how much the die has shrunk, the difference between a single and dual core within the next couple of years will be a matter of a few cents - sacrifice a few cents resulting in ultra crap performance? I doubt OEMs will make that sor tof sacrifice given the dog-eat-dog performance orientated market which exists.

Dunno, but it's important? Uniprocessors are clearly disappearing from the compuer market.
