If you have a way to make multi-core processors improve the speed of day-to-day tasks, then all the "average Joe" has to know if that it makes his computer faster. And because that's something that he does care about, you have a $100 million idea.

It's absurd to think that there are no real-world problems which have interesting solutions. To say that you can't understand what more "average" people would find useful is not an assertion of your superior intelligence, just an assertion that you're not particularly perceptive or curious.
