I agree totally with what you're saying and that seems what AMD is doing altho not Intel. The marketing spin is what's silly imo. In that an even numbered core , Dual/Quad, is the way to go. People forget that 1 core processors are still very much out there and 1 is an odd number.

Even more than the random silicon die issues, is the raw silicon itself. I've had a chance to be at one of the silicon cracking plants that supplies most of the IC and Proc manufacturers and each batch, the quality is slightly different and who gets the purest quality silicon is not always who you think would.
