Oh, paleeease! The concepts behind dual core are already outlined in one of my hardware courses.... edition dating back 1986. No breakthrough here, my friend. It is just cost effective now, and it wasn't 20 years ago. Not like it couldn't be done.

In my university there is a machine with 16 processors - for experimental purposes - so nothing groundbreaking here...
