Interesting Ars Technica article. It's pretty clear that technology has been in a stalemate for a while to get more processing power, hence the additional cores as a substitute. So I was pleased to see the article sum it up:

"Still, the payoff from additional cores is likely to shrink fast, and it's nice to think that there may be something on the horizon that could restart a MegaHertz race."

That's what we need man, more speed! :D
