Does Intel believe every application should be threaded?

0

No. Intel is rapidly moving to multi-core architectures across all product lines and makes available many resources for developers interested in threading their applications. The company says that, in the future, the biggest performance gains are to be had from architectural innovations and not necessarily from increasing clock speeds. However, the threading cost-benefit analysis is left to developers. Applications that are not CPU-bound and don’t need to scale for increasing performance, reliability and security may not be good candidates for threading.
