Tri core processors

Well there is a saying that came to mind when I read about this, three's company and fours a crowd or was it if at first you don't succeed <a href="http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=42369" target="_blank">Tri and tri again</a>. Will that be the case with AMD's latest latest rumored products?
<blockquote>There have been back channel stories floating around for weeks about tri-core AMD CPUs, but nothing solid. The rumors have been picking up more steam, and now they are finally solid: AMD is doing a three-core chip.</blockquote>
The process of semiconductor companies utilizing lower yield chips is typically called binning. Disabling sections of chips to render them perfectly usable as lower performing parts has become normal practice in the GPU wars between ATI and Nvidia.
Will this be another annoying diversification of options to choose from or will it be the sweet spot for lower budget PC's coming soon?
