Eight Cores
I have been toying with Gumstix and OpenEmbedded recently. It is certainly a
fun hobby, and these increasingly-smaller devices are becoming more and more
useful. I can think of up any number of uses for them with model boats as
telemetry tools, or handheld devices; the possibilities seem endless.
Having recently come in possession of an eight-core box, it is really impressive to watch OpenEmbedded compile a full image in record time, maxing out all of the cores. Lines in a CPU graph are a tangle of goodness. It is especially neat seeing the tangle of usage level out at the top when a large component starts building.
