You are all paid AMD shills, all know that the most important parameter for CPU performance are single-threaded tasks, like how quickly programs can check for updates, or how well games from 1998 perform.
Compiling? Video editing? Compression? Criptography? What's all that nonsense? I only use my computer to play Fallout 2.
I know this is a joke, but you actually stated a half true: single threaded tasks are still important for most application nowadays. While multicore has indeed caught up, it introduces several issues when coding a program, so it's still not taking advantage of 8 cores or so.
Compiling Java code, for example, is still single threaded so far for most IDEs.
