Looks like they still can't push beyond the 2.4 mark with their bungled up engineering.

They can fit in as many cores as they like, but until most programs available scale to use them all efficiently, it's pretty useless to just tack on additional cores and say its better.

Yea, Its pretty sad really. Their competition for this cpu is a cheapo intel dual core.
It does seem like their just throwing in another core to "keep up with the jones's"
