I wish we would have the option to buy superior computers nowadays. 10 GHz 16 core hundreds of GB RAM in a desktop tower. Innovation kind of stopped, now no one invests on single core performance anymore. Notebook CPUs are still at two core and less than 3GHz. People come up with myth that Hz doesn't matter - yes the memory and everything else got faster, but faster clock speed still matters. Maybe AMD's new CPU is a wake up call to release some new better CPUs. It's time to rethink the Pentium3/PentiumM/Core/i7-architecture, maybe give a different architecture idea (like Pentium 4) a new spin.
