Most likely this processor will start in the pro market where speed is needed. Things like video compressions, CAD, 3d applications, database, and especially the sever market.
For the consumer market yeah, I can see that it has little or no purpose right now. But when Video teleconferencing comes to prime time, when consumers will embrace it, they will have to have fast computers. Also I think that new applications on the horizon will emerge when 64-bit processing makes it in desktop.

No DJ! A mac can perform just as well or better than PC. Macs can run nearly any application, and most of the big title games. Your comment does not come from anything scientific, but rather from your own ignorance to try something different. Anyways I didn't want to start another debate where we know people stand. This thread is for the Power 4, and the Power 4 only.
