When intel introduce pentium, it had two pipes, two ALUs, and the first thought
i had is, "this is cheating"! seem to me at that time, that intel has run out of
cards to improve their 486, and so just double the hardware inside each chip.

of course i was wrong.

time will come when intel put 2/4/8 chips inside one die, as Sun has already
done that.

and if intel did put 2 cpu inside one die, everyone will have a SMP machine. I
have no doubt that this will happen, and probably pretty soon.
