Intel Labs announces Single-chip Cloud Computing experimental chip

Intel Labs has created an experimental Single-chip Cloud Computer, (SCC) a research microprocessor containing the most Intel Architecture cores ever integrated on a silicon CPU chip 48 cores. It incorporates technologies intended to scale multi-core processors to 100 cores and beyond, such as an on-chip network, advanced power management technologies and support for message-passing.

Don't wait for this to be released on the PC market, it sounds like a processor that would cost well around $5,580.00 given the industry its going to be used in. PCs will stay around the Octacore arena........48+ cores is overkill for a single user, he will never take full advantage of all cores. Todays graphics engines are so lousy that even with 48 cores I bet they'll still lag even the most equipped systems.

What? Cloud computing on a single chip - what is wrong with this picture.

@faosfx Forget about your faggy games! It's not designed for games! Modern games use only 3 cores, not even eight! It's designed for the FUCKING servers! GOT IT?!

@faosfx That's just so wrong. But of course you pussied out and closed your account. Fuckface.

@michaelcerros come to me plz. I have many keyboards and alot of internet. Plus i can step out my door and look you in the eyes.

[sunaibabu]

very informative

[fox000014]

wow!! good work Jimmy Neutron ..

another invention was made by you !!

it'll failed after you use it i already saw this on tv ..

[michaelcerros]

@Hxcmole Gotta love how the Internet lets you hide behind a keyboard to blurt out things you'd never say if we knew your name and where you lived. Coward.

It saddens me to see so many people apparently didn't watch the video at all given you guys think they're going to use this for games or home use. Whats more is they clearly outlined what the chip would be used for and what they planned to do with it in the future yet Faosfx and alaskanhybrid both still failed to realize IT'S NOT FOR GAMES DIPSHITS

Hey everybody todays home computer games does not use much more than 4 cores, hmmm i really wonder why most of todays processors don't have much more than 4 cores per CPU strange huh. Seriously this is overkill for now. Also remember Doom 4 that was shown with a 8 core Mac G5 tower, and that was shown using one Core according to John Carmack, lead designer of Id Software,so we dont need something this overkill, at least for now. I understand that this is what is potential

they afford overkill prossesors, but not an good camera?
