I recognize that it is nonsensical, but it remains very amusing to me. The context is in reference to AMD's latest move into producing microprocessors with four cores (<a href="http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/21/1430236">Quad Fathers</a>). <br /><br /> <ul id="commentlisting" class="thread"> <li id="tree_16528577" class="comment"> <div id="comment_status_16528577" class="commentstatus"></div> <div id="comment_16528577" class="full"> <div class="commentTop"> <div class="title"> <h4><a id="comment_link_16528577" name="comment_link_16528577" href="//slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=201935&cid=16528577" onclick="return setFocusComment(16528577)">These cores go up to eleven..</a></h4> <span id="comment_score_16528577" class="score">(Score:5, Funny)</span> </div> <div class="details"> by <a href="//slashdot.org/~Channard">Channard (693317)</a> <a href="//slashdot.org/zoo.pl?op=check&type=friend&uid=693317"><img src="//images.slashdot.org/neutral.gif" alt="Alter Relationship" title="Alter Relationship"></a> <span class="otherdetails"> on Saturday October 21, @09:56AM (<a href="//slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=201935&cid=16528577">#16528577</a>) <small><br>(<a href="http://www.godhatesfrags.com/">http://www.godhatesfrags.com/</a>) </small> </span> </div> </div> <div class="commentBody"> <div id="comment_body_16528577">At AMD HQ<br> <br> AMD PR Rep: The chips have four cores.

Is it more powerful?<br> AMD PR Rep:: Well, it's two more powerful , isn't it? It's not two. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing games with two. You're on two here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on two on your PC. Where can you go from there? Where? <br> Tech Columnist: I don't know. <br> AMD PR Rep:: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? <br> Tech Columnist: Put it up to four. <br> AMD PR Rep:: Eleven. Exactly.
