Intel's proposed 80-core architecture will have DRAM attached to each
core -- sort of how Cell has "local stores" attached to each SPE.
That's how they plan to solve the BW problem -- amortize it over all
the cores.

Basically it means that scicomp people like me get a huge job advantage
'cause we know how to deal with these issues (that's what i'm hoping
anyway ;P ).
