I think this quote is relevant to the "theoretical vs actual" performance, and the point that some programmers will be able to take advantage of that power.

"One very fast central processor would be preferable. I don't think all programmers have the ability to program two CPUs — most can only get about one-and-a-half times the speed you can get from one SH-2. I think that only 1 in 100 programmers are good enough to get this kind of speed out of the Saturn."

 

Shame on you for bring the "parallel programation model and paradigm", so far I fail to understand why people think that 100% of multicore teorical performance is achievable, and is really easy/cheap to get it, no matter what not everything can be put on a multiprocess model and expect a big improvement without making enormous amounts of sacriffice and test just for coordintate the threads... (And still that probably will negate the threorical performance)...
