Intel tests chip design with 80-core processor

Back


Following their march from standard processors to dual-core and quad-core designs in 2006, Intel Corp. researchers have built an 80-core chip that performs more than a trillion floating-point operations per second (TFLOPS) while using less electricity than a modern desktop PC chip.

First described by Intel executives at a September trade show, the chip fits 80 cores onto a 275-square-millimeter, fingernail-size chip and draws only 62 watts of power -- less than many modern desktop chips.

DAMN, they just owned the cell processor ROFL. I hope they use this in the next Microsoft product uses this chip for its next console.

Wow, Thats alota cores, I wonder how it stacks up against solitaire

Actually it is. If you bothered to look up more info on it you would see that you can interchange the nodes for anythign. Its very modular. So you can have FPUs. CPUs, GPUs and anything else you want to mix into it.

They say they can do it I know read it they just never did prove it :) (that just can't count as flat fact) When I will see such a cpu then I will believe it untill now all I'm seeing is fps :) that's not enough and will never be... sorry
