What comes after 12 cores?

Also, remember it said they programmed each core to have a little ram of it's own so it goes FASTER...Also, can someone do the math(I am not sure the limits) of how much RAM that this could actually handle. I am thinking 128GB per core, but I am probably wrong.

1 Giga Byte = 1 billion bytes (1000 meg)
A 32 bit CPU/ operating system can directly access up to 4.29 Giga Bytes of memory (4.29 E9)
A 64 bit CPU/operating system can access up to 18.4 Exa Bytes of memory (1.84 E19)
* thats billion times billion bytes *
If each core is 64 bit and had a dedicated 18.4 Exa Bytes of memory ,
that would be a theoretical total system max memory of 18 Zeta Bytes (1.8 E22)

More memory than you will ever use in your entire lifetime !
