I find the ongoing coverage by Ars Technica is the best, if you don't mind going too in depth.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!

I've read both articles, but something is not clear to me. I understand the architecture side of things, but can't see how it delivers the exponential scaling claimed. I thought it was a 'fundamental law' that processors would scale less than linearly (each processor added requires an additional number of cycles dedicated to coordination activities).
Any hints?
