Re: Software developers will no doubt tune their applications to benefit the most amount of users Yes and the installed base will be primarily PII/PIII/K2-X cores for quite a while. Even after that, developers will focus more on tuning their code to be useable on the older systems, rather than a little faster on the latest and greatest, but useless on the slowest 1/3 of the market. A 1+ GHZ PIII/Athlon or 1.4+ GHZ P4 will run just about anything well enough to sell the software as "supported by that configuration." The chips software designers have to be worried about, and tune for, are all those 333MHZ and slower PIIs and K6s.
