- Core Duo chips are going to look rather stupid compared to the 80 core chips of the future that Intel has been talking about... Massive parallelism is the word, apparently. Fascinating stuff.

Not that I'm a pro chip designer, but I know the basics, and it sure doesn't make much sense to me. Except, perhaps, design wise - just adding more cores instead of designing a new core (and a new).. A single core is better than multicore for pretty much every application I can think about, at least in the consumer market, anyway.
I bet it's kinda like those hair schampoos that always "improve their formulas", at least for ordinary people.. just trying to keep the hype to keep up the price on a product that people doesn't really need further development from.
