Sorry, but I don't buy that

then you clearly aren't buying new high-end servers for data crunching either, because these are already multicore

As surprising as that may sound, 99% of developers out there are not buying new high-end servers for data crunching, no.

Intel may try to sell many-core but who wants to buy it?

So you're saying that no one will ever sell lower cost single core laptops any more? hrmmm I'm skeptical.

Um... you consider a chip maker, telling you that you need to buy new chips "legit"?

No, but I consider a chip maker telling me what kind of chips they're going to be making legit. Especially when all the other chip makers are saying the same thing (All the other chip makers: AMD, Freescale, Intel, Sun, Marvell, and others)
