Nowadays the only true quad core CPU on the market is produced by Intel, not core2 dual. Its price is quite expensive. AMD has problem on Phenom unsolved therefore they have to disable one core making it 3 core CPU.
I'm NOT in a hurry to get a quad core CPU. I'm quite happy with AMD dual core CPU. I'll wait for 6/8 core CPU on the market. Unless the price of the true quad core CPU drops dramatically. Otherwise I'll keep my hands off it.
I ceased running 32 bits OS for sometimes eversince AMD marketed their 64bit CPU. All the PCs running here are of 64bit architecture.

UltraSPARC Processors Documentation
which processor which you mentioned here falls in octalcore? may i know that?
coming to processors? i would like to know how you measure the flops WRT to what? FPU or ALU and how you measure the mammoth signal processing? aka DSP.
waiting!
p.s. this is not a mortal combat nand nor a moral combat as who's is bigger. if you think octal core technology is viable? then AMD will push off the project.
reasons? people still use 586/686 and if they produce the R&D CPU in market to catch up the market brand which is multicore aka quadcore? they people will not buy quadcore and go straight for octal core. and one more reason? their quadcore will make no sale. same with XP and 2003, people didnt adopt 2003 but they stuck with XP.
and if you see the 1.4.1 section of the manual of CPU white papers and tech papers you can clearly see they measure it with
integer
floating point
load
and store
and in ASM its a major task.
if you can shed light which i meant by the one word "questions" and/or "comment" you are helping me than hurting my sentiments. if i can learn? i am ready to ditch my sentiments for 2 bucks and not 2 cents.
