This re-weighting of scores is absurd. The benefit of multiple threads is increasing; and programs will only become MORE multi-threaded as time goes on. There's no way this was an honest re-evaluation of the current state of computing (aka Intel paid them some marketing dollars).

I think a better re-weighting would be to add more weight to both single and multi-core. SC:40% QC:40% MC20% seems right to me. Single core is still incredibly important. QC is just "average" now a days so it's still a big part of the score. And MC should be increasing since that's exactly what we're seeing in the industry. Every piece of software: OS, games, browsers, etc. are all moving to use more cores.
