Business Power Up?

This is another new tech development, a highly stable processor with huge increases in bandwidth running over 30 simultaneous threads. I am suggesting for your analysis that as we see ever increasing single processor threads, which in turn greatly increases the total threads on the server, the possibility of an interaction with desktop multithreading (for example excel 2007, unlike its predecessors can expand across multiple threads or processing cores) that this can affect virtualization development. I was looking online but didn't see many recent articles on how a client sending an expanding number of threads would be handled. I'm wondering if there would have to be an artificial constraint on the number of separate threads submitted to a series of servers. Do you think any companies would miss this and potentially allow one power user to use a program like PC SAS on a virtual machine that could create a huge number of separate threads to affect server performance?
