BTW: Multiple CPUs cores are not parallel programming in the sense fpgas or ASICS (or even GPUs) are.
Multiple cores work like multiple machines, but parallel units work choreographically in sync at lower speeds(with quadratic energy consumption). They could share everything and have only the needed electronics that do the job.
