My point was that going from 1 to 4, requires a bigger drop than 1 to 2 How is that relevant? Its relevant because customers might decide that the drop in clock rate from single core is worth it to get double core, but that an additional drop isn't worth it for the diminishing marginal returns of more cores at this time. Eventually its likely to be worth it. More experience with multi-core chips might lower the decrease in clock speed for each chip. More certainly and more importantly, the amount of software written for multiple cores (and the amount of cores some of this software can take advantage of) will increase. For now I see dual core as the sweet spot for most PCs.
