Hybrid-core computing is used to accelerate applications beyond what is currently physically possible with off-the-shelf processors, or to lower power & cooling costs in a data center by reducing computational footprint. (i.e., to circumvent obstacles such as the power/density challenges faced with today's commodity processors).<ref>"New Microarchitecture Challenges in the Coming Generations of CMOS Process Technologies," Fred Pollack, Director of Microprocessor Research Labs http://research.ac.upc.edu/HPCseminar/SEM9900/Pollack1.pdf</ref>
A current example of hybrid-core computers is [[Convey Computer]] Corporation's [[HC-1]], which has both an Intel x86 processor and a [[Xilinx]] [[FPGA]] coprocessor.
