not much we can do ; that's the same thing with mobile phone : they 
claim the biggest number of cores per cpu, which is nice when you want 
to save battery, but on modern PC cpu you often need to choose 
"enterprise grade" cpu if you really want to have a big processing power 
even with a single core.

On the other end, recent cores are sometimes more powerful than a whole 
cpu from 5 years ago, so there's still hope for falcon emulation if you 
have a very recent machine :)
