There are already optimizations made with respect to pipelining and with instruction sets themselves. To say the world will remain single core is to assume that every instruction is the direct ancestral result of what came before, every time. I don't think this is a reality of computing more than a perception of what we're used to. You need multiple cores for so many reasons these days: anything with java including firefox(firehog IMHO), windows, daemons, indexing, databases, and so on. Within each of these lies the opportunity to parallelize.
