Intel prepares 32 cored Keifer for 2010

Intel prepares 32 cored Keifer for 2010.
Five years ago, Intel envisioned processors running at 20 GHz by the end of this decade. Today we know that the future will look different. CPUs will sacrifice clock speed over core count: The "Gulftown" processor, Intel's first "many core" CPU, will run at only two thirds of the clock speed of today's fastest Xeon CPU - but achieve 15x the performance, thanks to 32 cores.

So what is new here? Badhardware already knew before that why 10Ghz Tejas had no any chance.
Please note Keifer max clock: 2,6Ghz !
Was I right? Performance up, clock down. But, hmm not for the all applications. Only for those able to extract inherent parallelism INSIDE.
Anyway, I hope that AMD will not promptly respond with 32 core Yoghurt processor. Like responded with early AM2 3600+ X2 against Conroe launch.

I wonder what should the average user do with such huge proccessing power!
