Amdahals law is sometimes brought out as a whammy (not saying that is what you do), but economically we would expect that there will be a usage for this extra compute: we did it server side by hosting SAAS and thereby adding more users than anybody could think of. I suspect that rather than 1000 cores we might start to see more levels of cores, and hardware for more things. Already Apple has video encoding support. AI seems an obvious idea and it scales much better than most classical computing. If I may bring up something that may be more of a wish: I wish that we could give up the idea of shared memory and we could have many more cores that communicated by shared messaging. We are already seeing this spread with webworkers - if it became cheap to create a new thread and computers weren't bottlenecked then maybe more games would use it too.
