Dueling Multicores

"it's all about multicore architectures. ... By utilizing Moore's Law, [with] this transition to multicore, moving from hyperthreading to dual-core to multicore, we will deliver the fastest rate of performance improvement of our time." The possibility exists, cited Gelsinger, for processor performance to improve across the board, over the next four years, by a factor of 10 - "stunning performance through parallelism."

Its a duel. To the death... Scary stuff indeed.
