The SECOND I saw 45nm, I was like "yup, better"... less of a grid to 'charge', & thus, less power-consumption (theoretically should result), & right-off-the-bat, vs. its predecessor(s) of 65nm-90nm varieties!

* That's a GOOD thing, in & of itself!

(More cores are good too, because multithreaded designed ('implicitly SMP/multi-core ready code) is typically the "norm" nowadays anyhow (& this is easily verified using tools like Process Explorer &/or TaskManager) - & that can be directed by the OS process scheduler subsystems in today's modern OS (such as OsX, Linux, & Windows NT-based ones) to 1-N cores, as is necessary (mostly in the case of core #1 being near to saturation of available cycles))

NOW, as to the review, & its content? This, said it ALL, to me:

P.S.=> Would I like one? ABSOLUTELY, but, I only buy every 3-5 years typically... so, it will have to wait, since my last rig was put together back in mid-2006 & she's "still running strong"... but, when I do? I'll, as usual, probably literally DOUBLE my power! apk
