just a theory?
As one who has gaineda PHd in Biological Evolution, and who debates many a twit abotu evolution, I utterly hate that term.

It is one of the things that I dont like AMD.
Correct me if I am wrong ( and I usually am ) but Hex Core AMDs have their own caches and yet 8 cores ones share the L3 cache, effectively tying up half the cores.
I'll use hypothesis next time
