Tilera is coming out with a 100 core processor. It is apart of their new Tile-GX series and will be due out towards the end of next year. One of its focuses is to be a replacement for system boards that must use multiple processor chips to carry out all of the machines functions. It will be a new age for parallel processing.
Although the 100 core Tile-GX is the big announcement, the Tile-GX family of chips also features 16, 36, and 64 core processors. All chips employ Tilera’s two-dimensional iMesh interconnect system, which removes the need for an on-chip bus. It also features a Dynamic Distributed Cache(DDC) which allows the sharing of a core’s cache across the whole chip. The combination of these feature make the performance of the chip linearly scalable in relation to the number of cores the chip has.
The Tile-GX series is aimed at a wide variety of computing areas. It will be optimized for enterprise networking, wireless infrastructure, cloud computing, and multimedia applications.

Directly coming from Web 2.0 is the theory of Cloud Computing. Where at one point all software and services will be offered and run through the internet. People will not physically need to have the software to use it; they will rent its service from a provider. This is already seen in websites that offer you a virtual desktop, which you use and modify files as if they were on your own computer. Ultimately all a user will need is a computer and an internet connection.
Here is a great video on the topic:
