Oh yeah, SIMD/MIMD is indispensable, all I'm saying is that in the long term that's not going to suddenly solve every problem every time. There are a lot of intrinsically sequential processes and only so much parallelism can be extracted from any given problem. Personally, my guess is that eventually we will end up with a small number (maybe 128-256) of coordinator processors that are like current multi-core CPUs, and then a vast number of vector processors that it delegates work to.
