"Intel Plans 1,000-Core Processors -- But How Fast Will They Be?"
http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/11/24/intel-talks-core-processor/
"When it comes to computers, faster is better, isn't it? Yes ... to a point.
Having hit a limit on the sheer speed of computer processors in recent years, chip manufacturers now meld the brains of multiple processors (called cores) into each individual chip, gaining power through their collective ability. Now researchers from Intel have announced a giant leap in computing power that could bring 1,000-core processors to consumers -- an enormous jump forward from the four or eight cores in today's fastest PCs.
