| Intel aims for 32 cores by 2010 Chicago (IL) and Westlake Village (CA) - Five years ago, Intel envisioned processors running at 20 GHz by the end of this decade. Today we know that the future will look different. CPUs will sacrifice clock speed over core count: The "Gulftown" processor, Intel's first "many core" CPU, will run at only two thirds of the clock speed of today's fastest Xeon CPU - but achieve 15x the performance, thanks to 32 cores.

| I hope they also aim to push the software developers to go the extra mile and make their software scalable, programming for more than one core functionality involves longer development times and higher costs, will Intel/AMD provide the software companies with a compensation for their extra efforts? In the end a fast single core machine still rules the day.
