Like IDE ribbon cables gave way to sleek SATA cables, we could have another parallel to serial transition from silicon multicore crap to superconducting single core.


No, you'll get superconducting multicore because all that will happen is that the bloat will expand to consume the new cycle budget. This has already happened many times.


I'm looking forward to Chromium version 4201337 needing 20% of my 1Thz CPU to render simple text.


We'll get superconducting multicore because as a first step everyone will just map what they already know to the new space. Which is fun.
