8 cores? blargh, thats 2x quad core processor only. Havent u guys heard? Intel has successfully created an 80 core yes, 80 core chip processor! and no its not 20 quad cores, its a single chip 80 core processor.  Not to mention that each core is clocked at 3.1 Ghz!

there's even another company who has created 96 cores on a single chip, called ClearSpeed.
