What is this phoney push for more junk on a piece of silicon to

What was wrong with KISS?
In a personal computer, one does not need 2^10 core CPUs, or even
dual core; any CPU speed over 1Ghz is wasted, and for 99+% uses Win98Se
is more than good enough.

You are assuming that every computer is a PC. Some computers
are not PCs. Some computers are routers with 48 separate gigabit
ethernet ports and a requirement to inspect every packet coming
in from every port. Some are part of large web server farms that
handle all of the searches on Google or all of the bids on eBay.
Some are doing simulations of complex phycical systems. Some are
doing the rendering for the next Jurassic Park movie. And some
are at Supernews, handling your posts and the post of millions
of others.
