IBM has been working on there new 8 core Proccessors and aiming for the 16 core proccessor. The inerersting theis thay use only 19 watts. And are 80 percent cooler then the present day. I understand that they are positioned to blow the present proccessors away. Who know when they will be released. But I think in the next two years. What I understand is that they are designing a new type mother board that will do a lot of the work through memory insted of the proccessor.
