Quote:But seriously, what else needs that level of non-well-threaded power?
Rendering/scientific/engineering/encoder/encryption/decryption/compression/decompression applications just to name a few. Although a lot of those benefit from multithreading a lot. Games make more use of dual threaded horsepower similar to dolphin but developers never tend to aim too high with their requirements since they want systems with older cpus to still be able to run their applications reasonably well. And then there is good ole compilers. Programmers tend to prefer systems with good single threaded performance since that allows them to compile their code faster.
