@Louis - Re: Intel is delusional
I'm sorry, but did you just spout that old fallacy that software engineers can't do parallel programming?
Multi-threaded processes in the server space have been around for over a decade. Multi-process architectures for several decades.
We can do parallel. If *you* can't then that's *your* problem and *you* need to up your game or move out of the software business. The fact that desktop apps and games don't fully take advantage of multiple cores is neither here nor there, the industry has been designing and building industrial/military grade software for multi core machines for long enough.
By the way, I thoroughly disagree with that blog you reference too. The guy has clearly never heard of a thread pool and taking him as any sort of authority is ill advised.
