And the need?
Where, exactly is the need for these super fast CPU's?

Unless you're doing some serious video codec conversion or video editing, what is the point?

Do you not believe we have reached a point with the Core2Duo that these chips are fast enough for 97% of users and 99% of tasks.

There really is no urgent need for faster and faster chips apart from bragging rights.
