In this month's IEEE Spectrum magazine there is an interesting study on multi core CPUs and 'intensive computing' done at Sandia labs Seems like with the current data bus architecture, 8 core is the max for data access intensive applications like data mining. So I am thinking that if you need to move lots of data for your applications, the CPU is not the limiter, it is how the system moves data into and out of the CPU(s) that needs to be considered.
