Inside a microprocessor, or anywhere a task can be broken up into subtasks that are not dependent on the complete execution of a preceding one, performing the subtasks in parallel is the primary way to save time. Speeding up the overall processing only scales to a certain point before it reaches physical limits, but parallel processing can be scaled indefinitely as long as the task can be decomposed.
