[Walter Soyka] "[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."
It's an invalid analogy. I'm not arguing demand for CPU performance will hit a wall and nobody will ever want any more. I'm arguing that at some point single CPU systems will serve the Mac Pro's current demographic well enough that for most of us (nearly all of us) dual CPU machines will no longer pass a cost/benefit analysis. (The same way most of us probably wouldn't buy a quad CPU Mac Pro today if Apple had one available at, say, $15K.)
