Some of the industries greatest advances have began as a solution in search of a problem, such as the microprocessor (which its inventor, Intel, didn't think much of compared with memory chips where the real money was). Most fail of course. If someone can make many-core, in this form, do something useful that can't be done elsewhere (unlike DSP and GPUs, which are already many-core), it will fundamentally upend computing.
