Let's hope they fix their bus architecture first otherwise they'll all be 
starved for memory bandwidth :)

You can get dual or quad CPU boards and put dual core CPUs in them already.. I 
would suggest that would be more useful since (for AMD64 anyway) each socket 
has some local RAM which would mean less contention.
