In my original note I was referring to very low cost embedded cores which occupy about 10% of the silicon area, but perform more than 50% as fast as top of the line desktop processors.

Scumbria, assuming this statement is true, why don't Intel and AMD go this route as opposed to coming up with an Athlon or a cumine? In addition when everyone refers to real estate is that an indication of the physical dimensions of the chip?

Thanks.
