coding won't get more optimized for multi-cores.
every application is different, and requires a different strategy to divide the workload between the different codes.

saying "we need better optimized coding" is basically saying "we need a world full of Genius and Skillful Coders".

in 5 years, we'll have chips so fast, we don't need multi-threading for CPU's.

for GPU's its different though, since lots of Graphical algorithms can be easily preformed in parallel.
It makes more sense to focus multi-cores in GPUs than in CPUs.
Game coders don't even handle most the work done by the GPU, thats done by the GPU's drivers and Hardware Accelaration Libraries.



but i think probably in 5-15 years, we'll start seeing a muli-functional CPU, that does all the work and eliminates the Graphics Card.
Then everything would just be done by a super CPU.
