We just keep getting more and more cores!

Of course, such a processor is kind of pointless for us VRay guys as it still only addresses up to 32 threads per machine... Dual 8 cores with hyperthreading remains choice for heavy CPU rendering workflows. But this is an exciting glimpse of what's to come in the near future.
