For general purpose processors in say 5 years time I think multi core is inevitable, the only real question is how many cores. Will a typical desktop have under 10 cores or many more? Quad cores a getting common now, and if we fold in the GPU it seems plausible that 100+ core cpus might be the future. Not a very attractive prospect if you are uncomfortable with multithreaded programming.
Some of my work has hundreds of tasks that could be run concurrently.
