Followup on the 80 core CPU Intel was boasting about. It's here. It's not commercial yet, but it's real!
If that wasn't enough, here's a Canadian company testing a quantum computer.
There's still some doubt. But if parallel machines weren't enough, quantum computers are just around the corner no matter what. Project V can handle anything that comes along. I couldn't care less what the platform is. What other technology can claim the same?
Here's an article on making best use of system resources, especially the cache, in multi-core systems. This is all too important if you're doing low level programming. Unfortunately, I doubt most people will understand how to properly take advantage of this. Most languages don't let you deal with the cache anyhow.
