Nitin Borkar speaks to Intels 80-core Terascale processor

[EmilxLollipop]

i want this in my laptop xD

[luian90]

i heard this is coming out in about 4 or 5 years.....glad am goung haha ama buy this even if it coastes 10000 dollars and i think it is but hey....ama finally be ableto run crysis all max out at 1000000000 frames perseconds..haha lol jk i have a 7i now and it donw compare to this at all

[myso2008]

luian90 , playstation 3 bas the cell chip already

[dregothic]

This is NOT a Cell. It is a x86 based CPU with 80 cores, not 8. It would make Cell look like a Pentium.

[kiaalberto]

on what temperatures is working the disk ?

[jaysonkkg]

cool

[lasarith2]

Terahertz =clock speed,

Teraflops=instructions per second,

80 core processor so each is doing about 320 instctions per tick.

I dont get those disc things (waffers?), why do they make em round? like arent the ones (ones referes to the proc i guess?)at the edge of the disc sliced in half like "broken", whats the point of making that.

I dont get it :s

[helloshayan]

@FearSyndr0me waffers are very expensive to make, if you do ur maths and calculate that a square with a circumfernce of 16cm and a circle with a circumfernce of 16cm, the circle will have more area. thats why they make coke cans circle and not square, just because it lets you put more coke in and use less material. the most efficent shape or should i say maximum area per circumfernce is circle. and as for die on waffer they are only built very small so they would fit on circle easily. save $

[clauzii]

With refinements pretty convincing.

1 TFlop @ 40 watts

Top that!, "Any-other-chip-maker"

[111olbap]

its TERAFLOPS not teraherz. It runs @ 5Ghz X 80cores in a 2d mesh matrix for a total output of 1.6 TRILLION floating point operations per second

[Fragem420]

So give me my teraherz procesor now and stop producing 3 ghz machines

[CSenthilKumar]

dude.. first, know the difference between FLOPS and HERTZ

[p8baller07]

Would you rather do 1 calculation at 1TERAHERT.

or 1,000,000,000,000 calculations at 3ghz?

[Incubus4Succubus]

First!
