Intel Proposes 80 Core... For Your Laptop

Intel says it has developed an 80-core microprocessor chip that could enable PCs and chip enabled devices to perform Teraflop level computing. The company will offer more details of its research in a series of scientific papers at the annual Integrated Solid State Circuits Conference this week in San Francisco. The chip maker says the result of providing such chips to the market could help usher in artificial intelligence, instant video communications, photo-realistic games, multimedia data mining and real-time speech recognition. The demonstration model unveiled last week in San Francisco, however, is not a prototype for a product. Still, the company says the technology would be built into future chips designs. Jason Lopez of PodTech spoke with Intel CTO Justin Rattner.

Can anyone say, Terminator? lol

[iggy151]

So you're saying 800 cores putting out 1.2 teraflops is better than 80 putting out at least 1??

[ionizdgrunt2]

whats funny is the ati radeon hd 7970 on single precision - 3.5 Tflops on double precision - i think 1- 1.7 Tflops LOL!! gpu's are more powerful than most cpu's today

freakin.... the 7970 is MORE POWERFUL than the nvidia TESLA!! almost double

:::::PPPP ololl

[seriouslyImmature]

@rbolo29 all these silicon computers are no smarter than an insect, im pretty sure terminators are smarter than insects

@speedsk8r010 just like your teachers tell you, you cannot live without algebra.. they were right, i found that out the hard way, and here I am 37 and just now learning algebra..

@AvianAzn you dont know what you talking about, Im running nvidia geforce, 1 gig onboard and i had change my 500 w psu out for a 750 psu, the computer wouldnt even boot the video with only 500w... if you think a 150w will power my gfx card, your sadly mistaken, or on some really good drugs, if drugs be the case let me know wher your getting them cause ill sell my soul for an oz. cause that has to be some really psychedelic.. stuff

@roxxas5 But having 1 TFLOP running on 80W sounds better than 0.5KW (and more) which some top shelf cards use.

thank you  ,supercool97! ,,,,,

@winchestermentolatt In 2006, IBM made a silicon/germanium processor supposedly capable of 350GHZ. They sold a few but now I'm wondering what they're gonna do with that technology.

[winchestermentolatt]

IBM CREATED ON AUGUST AUGUST 17,2010...A GRAPHENE TRANSISTOR AT A FREQUENCY OF 100GHZ ,ALSO PROVED ,,,,,,,,I JUST LOVE THIS ! THIS IS THE START OF THE NEW ERA,NEW POSIBILITIES! GOOD LUCK FORWARD!

[winchestermentolatt]

.....ABSOLUTELY ,,,HERE IT DOES STARTS THE FIRST VERY ELEMENTARY PROCESSOR,,,,,,NO I'M AFFRAID THERE'S MUCH MORE TILL THE TERMINATOR,,OFFICIALLY,,,BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT ARE MORE PROTOTYPES IN THE WORLD TODAY AT A HIGHER LEVEL,LIKE GOVERNMENTS,,,,,,ET CETERA,,,,,,,,I'M HAPPY THAT A CVILIAN CAN FINALLY USE A REAL CHIP,,,,,,THIS IT'S ACTUALLY THE START OF REAL TECCNOLOGY!THANK YOU SCIENCE ,UNIVERSE ,GOD ,EVERYTHING,AND ALSO THANK YOU INTEL ,YOU ARE THE BEST,I LOVE YOU!
