[Thomas J. Watson]"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
[Ken Olsen]"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home."
[Bill Gates] "640K ought to be enough for anybody."
[Chris Kenny] "If Intel has a 12 core processor available in a couple of years, will Apple really still feel the need to make a dual processor (i.e. 24 core) machine?"
Apologies to Messrs. Watson, Olsen, and Gates, who were either misquoted or had their quotes taken out of context.
[Chris Kenny] "at some point single CPU performance will be so high it won't really make sense even for most of the Mac Pro's demographic."
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sizzle core beast folks like me are now using PCs for desktop-based performance computing. The workstation market is actually growing in absolute numbers (see just about any Jon Peddie Research article from the last 3 years), but Apple is only doing the bare minimum necessary to stay in it.
