>Writing amazing programs taking full advantage of the core count increase is simply impossible (see Amdahl's law). So even if one wanted to rearchitect programs to take full advantage of the overall transistor count from ~2005 to now, they won't be able to.
I don]t think that's the goal right now, though - it's about parallelizing multiple separate tasks/programs/etc: IOW, you can run 50 applications on a single 64 core CPU that used to take 50 individual servers
