MarketWatch has a story about how Intel thinks it will ship 1 million quad-core chips in the first half of this year. While you would think that's a big deal, it's 1 million chips out of the 240 million chips they'll sell this year. That means that 0.4% of the chips in the market will be quad-core. Now, I'm not saying that a million chips in six months is pocket change... that's over 160,000 a month... but since when was capturing 0.4% of the market anything to put out a press release about?
