Besides, does anyone (besides people running servers) really need all that speed? Static has a screenshot of him running 3 games and a map editor, and his CPU load is 71% with memory usage of 1.76 out of 2 GBs. If he is still able to be playing H2V with all that, there isn't much of a need for anything faster for a few more years...

Yea thats true for the moment. But new applications and games are quickly taking advantage of multicore processors. So its better to be prepared now and enjoy the experience in the future, than waiting later and having big problems and issues.
And your forgetting the key factor - we are humans, we are becoming more and more advanced at a rate faster than ever before. There is an infinite amount of possibilities out there, And companies will go to any lengths to prove themselves better than the competition.
Hell I bet if we told the Japanese that there is a planet with alien tentacles on it with sexy school girls, we will be traveling at faster than light speed within a week.
