Today there's an article in the paper about the new technology that Intel is working on. Remember that dual core processor I bought last year? Well, now you can buy a quad core processor for roughly the same price. But that's not what the newspapers are talking about. What they're talking about is – are you ready for this? 16-core technology. And 48-core technology. Intel, it appears, is making strides in multi-core microprocessor technology. How long will it be before we start talking about M-core (million cores) and G-core (billion cores) technology? It's hard to say, but this I know for sure; we all have to keep our saws as sharp as we can. There are some big trees growing in the forest.
