I sure hope that, by then, software will have been developed to use 80 cores. Right now, I have a 2-core system, and they are mainly idle (well, they do scientific research).

Then again, you could have a Beowulf cluster of the 80 core systems and have exoflops of computation available in a single rack of computers.
Makes my head hurt to even think about it.
