>I imagine a future MacBook Pro that, instead of a single Intel processor, contains many ARM processors. 10-15 ARM processors acting as one could offer a whole lot of performance when you needed it (use all of them), and a whole lot of energy saving when you didn't (use 1 of them). With the current trend of multi-core CPUs, I see this as the ultimate form of the architecture.
Doesn't make sense. What's the difference between "10-15 ARM processors" and 4-8-12 Intel based cores?
I mean apart from the fact that we aren't going back to multi-processor architectures, since there's no benefit from that compared to cores (latency, etc).
