One additional outcome in ten years, in addition to David’s three scenarios, may be “The semiconductor industry will find some new process and material to build faster processors. The era of multicore will not be over, but we will see the growth of core counts stabilize as individual cores increase in speed. By the time a new manufacturing process is in place, many of the applications in enterprise, research, and engineering communities will have already been parallelized and will continue to require multiple cores.”
