We've already got quad-core general purpose CPUs and larger n-ways on
the horizon.

We already have 8-core CPUs in general use, outside of x86, and have
had for around a year.

I think it's fairly clear that pretty much any vanilla 4-core CPU will
be starving for memory almost all the time (in particular the kinds of
things that intel and AMD will be pushing this year).
