Intel aims for 32 cores by 2010
Multicore/multithread approaches are common among processor startups. Many are taking the approach of having a large array of very lightweight processors. This sometimes goes by the name of stream-processing, as the programming model is to stream data from processor to processor. Intel is taking the less radical approach of using a smaller array of their CISC processors.
