Dual-core. Quad-core. Octa-core.

Chipset manufacturers have been boosting processing power by leaps and bounds in recent years. Now, Intel is going one better with the next-generation Broadwell-E chip family, its first ever 10-core desktop processor.

"Multitasking is basically the ability to switch between unrelated applications," said Soqui. "You might be doing a PowerPoint and then switch to the web or run a movie, but none of those things are actually related to each other. When we talk about mega-tasking we're talking about simultaneous, compute-intensive, multithreaded workloads that are aligned in a purpose."
