So would you rather have a 100-core processor that could all the multi-tasking ever necessary or a system that you could somehow crossfire 50 ati 5970's for insane frame rates, and jaw dropping visuals. Rules: YOU MUST CHOOSE ONE. 

Uh...which one can run Crysis better?

The 2nd option, then I'd sell the other 49 graphics cards on Ebay and buy something far more sensible.

i would assume the crossfired 50 gpu's

this...

So I can choose either 50 graphics cards or an 100 core CPU? You do realize that you need a CPU and a graphics card for a computer to run right?.....right?

All I need is blast processing!

ha yeah good point, but like if you choose the 50 gpu's you get average cpu and vise versa

wrong and right?!?!?! ya all you need is a proc that can do both. The Ps3 was made without a video card and then later had one added due to the strain devs would have tring to fiqure it out. As for may answer i have two really. If ati would get there stream tech running better the 5970's due to the fact they can indeed run an os with the right drivers and the bandwith is far more insane than a cpu. If those drivers would never show well then the proc casue it can already do both.

Yeah, i gotta agree... I think one of those 100 core processors only go for like 900...

while those ATI cards you could get a good 500 a piece for them second hand probably.  Plus more people would actually want to buy it.
