This discussion is fun, but we probably should leave this to Intel, Sony,
AMD and Sun to fight. Personally I am surprised that we are on the verge of
having systems with 32 cores, be it that some are half cores (The Hyper
Threading ones). Having 32 cores even if you never get more, already starts
to make a statement in support for the need of multithreaded applications,
and probably compilers better utilizing the cores.
Then again maybe it is just a hype, but if so it has been continuing for few
years already, and it only seems to grow in strength.

They don't care about pages. They only care when writing to shared memory
(to keep other caches consistent). This is on cache line level, e.g. 32
bytes for PPC usually, 128 bytes on Intel.
