RE: Intel unveils Atom chips

I have trouble understanding Intel and us as consumers. Am I to believe that gamers and "Enthusiasts" are buying up the countless dual core and quad-core (and soon Core Octa Dual Double Quad Core if Intel names it, Double Decathlon if AMD does). They made processors a year ago that are far better than what many if not most PC's run today. A story I saw about an "old" Intel E6300, dual core at 1.87 GHZ, when easily over-clocked to around 2.7 GHZ chewed up the AMD Athlon FX 62. That was considered the ultimate processor just a few short years back. Something seems way out of sync. And passing by these great, and inexpensive CPU's just to buy newer ones that do us no good in the end? I'm a layman what do the guys that know something about this say?
