I talked to Uri Tal last week, who has just joined Cadence as a result of the Rocketick acquisition. Prior to the acquisition, he was Rocketick's CEO. He gave me a little history.

They can run on all the cores in a socket, in practice up to 32 today, although like a surfer they will ride that wave as the number of cores per socket increases. I call this Core's Law: the number of cores on a processor doubles every two years.
