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).

A close monitoring of the hardware enthusiast community, including many of the most respected hardware analysts and reviewers paints an even more dire picture about Intel in the server processor space. This made it easier for database professionals to make the case for a hardware upgrade, and made the typical upgrade more worthwhile.

Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. The latest AWS hypervisor, Nitro, uses everything to provide a new hardware-assisted hypervisor that is easy to use and has near bare-metal performance. I'd expect between 0.1%

Now welcome to the hardware jungle. 2012 will see us continue to build out multicore with mainstream quad- and eight-core tablets (as Windows 8 brings a modern tablet experience to x86 as well as ARM), and the last single-core gaming console holdout will go multicore (as Nintendo’s Wii U replaces Wii). The free lunch is over.

The predominant desktop situation is relatively straightforward: Browsers handle links, and non-browsers defer loading http and https URLs to the system, which in turn invokes the default browser. Instead, they load content referred by their hosting native app in system-provided WebViews. Hardware access APIs, notably: Geolocation.

More than a decade ago, Amazon embarked on a mission to build a distributed system that challenged conventional methods of data storage and querying. In 2012, we launched Amazon DynamoDB, the successor to Amazon Dynamo. Let’s now look at the history behind the service and the context for new innovations that make me think that.
