Are Intel, AMD Six-Core Chips Worth It?

C|Net’s Brooke Crothers asks the question, are six-core processors really worth it? I think we all know the answer to this question, don’t we?

All of this means more choice at the high end for consumers, but are those extra cores really necessary? Do the newest six-core systems, such as the HP Pavilion Elite HPE-460z series and Dell Studio XPS 9100, offer an appreciable spike in performance?
