IBM and Intel teamed up with FM, AnandTech, DailyTech and Hot Hardware to launch IBM Virtualization Little Ashes download , a social-media platform for IT to define, explore and optimize processing virtualization. From one post:

“First dual-core in 2005, then quad-core in 2007: the multi-core snowball is rolling. The desktop market is still trying to find out how to wield all this power; meanwhile, the server market is eagerly awaiting the octal-cores in 2009. The difference is that the server market has a real killer application, hungry for all that CPU power: virtualization.”
