You are talking about PC there right? :)
Btw, have you ever programmed anything(More than hello world, of course... -.-)? Your numbers are way off and your assumptions are quite wrong all the time. Running parallel programs isn't that easy really, especially on heterogeneous platform. Of course you can run some simple programs that are embarassily parallel quite fast, but anything more complex will take serious amount of designing time. You do know that parallism is usually designed memory wise more than CPU wise and you really can't say that something with 8 cores can run things 8 times faster etc.? :)
