What a pity these architectures did not end to be more popular. Before the  
Pentium was released (I knew a bit about CPUs at that time), I expected  
there will drop this kind of architecture and go to multi-processor  
motherboard instead. But they did not, they increased the speed of one CPU  
only. I feel for long, parallelism is more important than clock speed (and  
you can add CPUs like you add memory).

I do not know enough about the architecture based on Core, I do not know  
the relevant differences between two cores and two CPUs, so I could not  
tell (I just guess something is shared, but what and with which  
implications… I do not know).
