I Always Prefer 1080p
Intel today revealed more details about its 80-core research CPU, which likely is the most powerful floating point engine built to date. 200 of these processors achieve the same floating point performance as today's most powerful supercomputer. But don't get excited just yet: The CPU won't come to market and the number of cores isn't everything to future CPU design, Intel said.
We first heard about Intel's "Terascale" project - an effort to enable the transfer of terabits rather than gigabits of data - not quite two years ago and did not make much of what sounded like science-fiction back then. But the company apparently has dedicated substantial resources to this project and was able to show a wafer with 80-core terascale processors and its most recent developer forum in fall of 2006. Just in time for the Integrated Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), which will be held this in San Francisco, the company has more data to discuss the capabilities of the processor.
