16 core machines isn't that uncommon today, but i guess back in 2009, it was way less common.
But i think the trend is clear - more cores is the future as clock speed has slowed down.

~0.31% according to the Steam hardware survey [1] If you are including 8-core machines with simultaneous multithreading (so 16 logical cores, 8 physical), then you would be at ~17%, however.
