Ted,

why don't Intel and AMD go this route as opposed to coming up with an Athlon or a cumine?

In the PC business, the top 10% performance commands almost the entire profitability of the industry. Embedded cores typically cost less than $20, whereas top of the line CPUs cost more than $300.

when everyone refers to real estate is that an indication of the physical dimensions of the chip?

The term "real estate" is frequently used synonymously with chip area.
