The good news for us, is that our customers do DSP, video and audio
processing, and our libraries are designed to utilize both single and
multicore systems, so we win in any case ;-) .

Well, try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustafson's_Law for a comparison.
And don't forget, despite the name, those are not laws, not even theories.
See, Moore's Law turned out to be wrong after all. ;)
Of course, you're right in the general case. Personally, I seriously doubt
that we will see a desktop system with hundreds of processors in the next
few years or so. Practical benchmarks these days have shown, that a
Quad-Core gains almost nothing compared to a cheaper Dual-Core in most
practical circumstances. Of course, that's what the processor architects
are trying to change here. But considering the majority of desktop users,
what would an e-mail program or word-processor gain from 64 cores? 99% of
the time it's idling anyway...
