I said something similar to the above, but with two important differences: I said hardware “threads,” not only hardware “cores” – it was about the amount of hardware parallelism available on a mainstream system. Longer answer follows: Here’s the main part from article, “Design for Manycore Systems” (August 11, 2009).
