James Reinders: Parallelism Has Crossed a Threshold
Is the parallel everything era here? What happens when you can assume parallel cores? In the second half of our in-depth interview, Intel’s James Reinders discusses the fading out of single-core machines and the ramifications of the democratization of parallel computing, remarking “we don’t need to worry about single-core processors anymore and that’s pretty significant in the world of programming for this next decade.” Other topics covered include the intentions behind OpenHPC and trends to watch in 2016.

Great, single-core microcontrollers, just what you need for your Internet of Things devices.
it's not just IoT devices, they are in everything.
So yes, parallelism is important.
yes it's important but it's not ubiquitous which is what he seemed to be implying.

My new dishwasher needs to learn how to wash dishes properly. It's one of these fancy new "eco/environmentally friendly/water and energy saving" ones that doesn't use enough water or electricity to clean anything properly.
