Exactly my thoughts, Dan. But it is a nice little look "over the horizon" so to speak. And I'm thinking that with that many cores, even ones less functional than the individual cores on the current chips, it may be possible to offload the threading function to some of that hardware, eventually allowing engineers to write "one-code-fits-all" programs that can make use of one core or one hundred.

Speculation, I know, but it is quite exiciting! (to a nerd like myself, anyhow)
