AMD Triple Core Processors Reach Desktop Market

I was reading the Fryes add in the paper today and noticed the AMD Phenom Triple Core is now showing up in desktops. The Phenom Triple core processor is a Phenom Quad core with one core inactive or non-functional.

This seems to be a good idea, one can get a good, multi-core processor for less. They are cheaper than the quad cores, but lack the same power and abilities as well.

Here is the link to the Fryes website to see some PC stats with the Phenom Triple Core Processor.
