`  == ``As power consumption..`` -> we got parallel computing? ==  That's quite irresponsible to be on the front page; it's not power consumption the main reason of success of multi-core processors but simply the inability to produce faster processors in the pace (comparable to the 80s and 90s) needed to sell to the public ``shiny new super faster computers compared your last one that you must buy now or you're behind the times``. Shortening the transistor size is slower and parallel computing offers another route to ``shiny new faster personal computers``. The combination of smaller transistors and multicore processors is the new deal.   `
