[ydl-gen] Happy Holidays!

[Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D.]

Ain't technology grand? Gordon Moore was correct. As someone who owns a 
dual processor 533MHz G4 PowerMac, I certainly understand development 
time, time to market, and timed obsolescence.

Processor design is now more easily tailored towards an intended 
application. The Xbox processor series is a case in point.

Found a paper on the WEB entitled "Multicore, dual-core, and the future 
of Intel". It  is a bit dated, but interesting.
