IT seems to me a lot more enthusiast desktops are using xeon processors instead of cores, this being one of the reasons people are making the swap- you gain a lot of performance/$$ because loosing integrated graphics saves a fair amount of money. The average user still needs integrated graphics though, so I don't see the core ever going away. Who knows though, they might come out with some enthusiast grade core processors that don't have int graphics.
