I don't see the logical implication between these two statements. Cores are
just a physical concept that software threads will benefit from. The
situation is not going to be radically different from today where the idea
of using threads to parallelize operations is quite mainstream.

I really don't see why it's necessary to tell everyone "soon you'll have
much more cores on your machine, therefore you need to change the way you
program".
