True, the bottleneck will shrink - but according to Amdahl's law [0], it will never really go away.
Also, the more cores you have, the more the single-threaded performance increase multiplies. Imagine a million-core CPUs in the future - even a tiny increase in single-threaded performance will yield millionfold.
