It is not true.

Instruction-level parallelism existed before multi-core.

Pot, meet kettle.




I don't care at all about this discussion! I was just trying to ding the commenter for going off on a tangent. Also, the person I'm replying to wasn't talking about instruction-level parallelism, they were misreading the article.
