Each additional cpu core is a pretty big deal. We all agree a windows system benefits from the 2nd core. Many will agree that quads are "overkill".
The triple core for many users will work out to be "just right".

Kinda like the three bears and their porridge.

Tricore AMDs will be their competition to Intel's Core2Duo. The eventual "Semperon" version of the Phenom will be dual core.

I'd much much much rather AMD had a competitive dual core (in terms of the holy trinity: IPC, clockspeed, and power consumption).
