  80 Core Processor!! Wow, now that will be a performer. I think that’s great for the consumer. But I guess I have to question at what point does the capability of the hardware far exceed the needs of the software. I would suspect that such an introduction in such a small timeframe would really negatively impact PC sales and ultimately chip sales. So wouldn’t an 80 Core Processor in five years really be crippling their own business model, that is if they continue with the current focus on chips?

  Give me 80 processors and I’ll find a use for them. I do have to wonder if the OS’s will be capable of efficiently managing 80 cpus but until the hardware is there, the OS’s will not be made efficient for massive parallelism.
