Forget Quad-core...512 core is here

Some Japanese researchers at University of Tokyo have developed a multi-core chip named GRAPE-DR processor that runs at 500MHz and performs at 512G FLOPS. This uni-processor contains 512 cores and acts as a math co-processor. The researchers aim is to build a supercompter which is fast, cheap and energy efficient too.

Very different and much tinier and specific than a PC CPU. That's the reason why, it's missing most of the PC CPU features and functions.
