I wouldn't be too surprised to eventually see the day where the "celeron"
laptops of the world were the only ones with only one core. In this sort
of situation, I can imagine it being rather nice to be able to painlessly
"hot-swap" CPUs for power management purposes - preferably BEFORE the day
comes where the lack is a major problem.
