iNew octacore (iw6000)?

[WuddaWaste]

I may be the single voice of dissent, but I remain skeptical that more cores is necessarily "the answer" so much as it is a marketing point. I plan on holding judgment until we actually see some legit phones come to market and experience real-world demands. More cores obviously provides more parallel processing power, but how much of that utilization is actually realized? Are more cores better or worse for battery life?

All that said, if I buy a new gizmo anytime soon the i6000 is near the top of my list and if the octocore is competitively priced... I might just be that giddy little guinea pig.
