well thats just it in the end the desktop os will be alot more like server os's in that it can sustain a larger grouping of cores. 4x4 is what? and were talking about current maintsream server configs. higher core counts do an immense amout of good for servers and in the end will enable apps to take singular advantage of cores thereby freeing resources and speeding multiple processes up. alot of cores means alot of freedom and alot of speed.

sun has even more cores on its server cpu's I think its already at 16 and heading up not down. lets say you pack 1k cores on a die in a desktop, there isnt a whole lot that cant be done on that hypothetical system.
