Line 74: ===Trends=== The trend in processor development has been towards an ever-increasing number of cores, as processors with hundreds or even thousands of cores become theoretically possible.<ref>{{cite web\|last1=Clark\|first1=Jack\|title=Intel: Why a 1,000-core chip is feasible\|url=~~http~~https://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-why-a-1000-core-chip-is-feasible/\|website=ZDNet\|access-date=6 August 2015\|url-status=live\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150806181915/http://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-why-a-1000-core-chip-is-feasible/\|archive-date=6 August 2015}}</ref> In addition, multi-core chips mixed with [[simultaneous multithreading]], memory-on-chip, and special-purpose [[heterogeneous computing\|"heterogeneous"]] (or asymmetric) cores promise further performance and efficiency gains, especially in processing multimedia, recognition and networking applications. For example, a [[ARM big.LITTLE\|big.LITTLE]] core includes a high-performance core (called 'big') and a low-power core (called 'LITTLE'). There is also a trend towards improving energy-efficiency by focusing on performance-per-watt with advanced fine-grain or ultra fine-grain [[power management]] and dynamic [[dynamic voltage scaling\|voltage]] and [[dynamic frequency scaling\|frequency scaling]] (i.e. [[laptop]] computers and [[portable media player]]s). Chips designed from the outset for a large number of cores (rather than having evolved from single core designs) are sometimes referred to as [[manycore]] designs, emphasising qualitative differences.
