Most software is not one algorithm. Most software is a complex system which can be parallelized in a variety of ways, some of them embarrassingly trivial.

I also think most software doesn't run for example 32 independent algorithms at the same time, so some of them will have to be parallelised to use the large number of cores we're getting.
