I'd rephrase it - well designed programs. Having several cores gives minimal benefit, if some program eats 100% of a single core and 0% of the rest, since it's not written in a scalable parallelized fashion. Modern multicore hardware by far outsrips most implemented software which utilizes only a small part of hw capabilities.
