NSA force CPU makers to limit CPU'S?

It just seems to me that multi-core processors are a waste, when that space could be better used by a single bigger processor core.

Anyone that's ever designed a circuit realizes that redundancy is redundant.  4 processors !/= 4x the power.  Fractional improvements are fractional of what normal should be.

except quantum computers are useless to the home user. We dont need to do quantum physics calculations. FAIL Nanotubes are irrelevent to this conversation as of now, why would you use a tube to conduct electricity? hollow = smaller volume of metal = gets hotter = BAD
