Intel's 80-core concept car

Higher and higher: Is there no end in sight for these continual advancements? Just when you're getting used to your newly acquired chip toy (say dual core), they're already introducing quads! It's almost discouraging.

Reminds me of the old classic Moody Blues tune 'Higher and Higher':

Blasting, billowing, bursting forth, with the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes
Man, with his flaming pyre, has conquered the wayward breezes
Climbing to tranquility, far above the clouds
Conceiving the heavens, clear of misty shroud
Higher and higher, now we've learned to play with fire
Go higher .. and higher .. and higher ...

Of course in the end we - the consumer - mostly win, as it sure speeds the computing experience along. In that regard, bring 'em on baby.
