We currently only have 4-core processors (or 3 if you're AMD) but since the quad-core was released all I could think of were the days when we had 4MHz processors. Next will be 8MHz, then 16MHz etc. Well, this new performance graph snuck out of Intel's super secret headquarters shows that they're thinking along the same lines with their Larrabee CPUs.As you can see from the graph, as cores are added the performance increases in a very linear fashion. You can also read from the very same graph that we might be looking at 48-core processors sooner than you think with Intel now trying to tell us that GPUs are a thing of the past.
