Answer» So people, witch do you think will be FIRST that you will be able to buy? And I'm talking about physical cores.
I think that the 8 cores will come out and then the second generation of them will have 128 bit capability and then later an OS will be available.8 bit to 16 bit took about 2 YEARS... 16-bit to 32 bit took over 6... 32 bit to 64 took over a decade.
I think it's a good 20 years before we see a 128-Bit CPU in desktop machines.8 cores will be first, for sure. 64 bit isn't yet mainstream, I think 128 bit will take at least another 10 years, and probably more like 20 as BC says. On the other HAND, 6 core SERVER CPUs are already out, 6 core desktop CPUs are being released soon. I predict 8 core next year, maybe more.
