IBM launches eight-core Power7 processor, servers

[senateboy0909]

I need this to play games

[PBJsandwich100]

It'll be nice for this to be implemented on the Wii U.

Makes intel core i7 look like something from AMD

[Marcham89]

So when do I get one of these in my ThinkPad? ^_^

[Vice81]

it'd be great if this was in project cafe(nintendo's next console)

[GranKnight87]

PlayStation 4?

[macmini661]

I bet the one that disliked was an intel employee

[MrJordanstech]

Can I get one in my iBook? Imagine 64 bit ppc gentoo with LXDE running on this processor with 16 gig's of ram.

Nice job writing and editing this video report, Nick! I like how you reshuffled the shots from the original VNR that I put together - it's better than mine!

imagine using this as a home computer :P 96 x 8cores @ 4.2ghz xD windows would boot in 1sec

[anonix27]

@metalmanga

You would have to emulate x86 in order to do that and I don't think even with that amount of cores an emulated system would boot in a second

@metalmanga i overclocked my i7 980x extreme black edition to 4.5 ghz

[iqon97]

@4LP1N3ST4RS but you don't have over 100 cores at over 4ghz

[MultiCamo]

Damn, at 45nm it has a size of 527mm^2. The 90nm Cell was at 230mm^2

[yazi19811]

i agree your view

[Larz1000000]

That's one beast of a processor.

[eMGeeGFX]

@Larz1000000, yes, very bulky.
