Looking at the new Intel Xeon processor series, up to 18 cores: could .NET’s Task Parallel Library work with this, too?

Even though most of my time goes working with software applications and development, it is also important to keep up with the latest hardware advancements. For instance, the latest set of Intel Xeon server processors are highly performant, but also highly parallel: they can have up to 18 cores in a single processor.

If you are a .NET developer, you are probably already using the Task libraries to run background tasks and/or asynchronous functions. The good news is that even if your .NET or C# application would end up running on an Intel Xeon E5-2600 processor, you would be covered.
