Source: TrustedReviews - Research @ Intel 2007:QUOTE Talking of the 80-core CPU, Intel has now managed to get it running at 6.26GHz which gives a theoretical 2 teraflops (2,000,000,000,000 floating point operations per second), but that's not all. Using new dynamic core control, the number of operating cores can be throttled on the fly. This means that while running all 80 cores at full pace the chip consumes over 150 Watts, with just four cores running at 3.13GHz it consumes a paltry 3.32 Watts. That's way faster than IBM's Power6 at 4.7GHz  |

QUOTE(ikanayam @ Jun 28 2007, 11:31 AM) Power6 is a complete working CPU (with schmoo plots up to 6ghz). This is not. Not even close. I was just surprised that they can crank their silicon up to 6GHz without using extreme or exotic cooling like LN2. |

More info and pictures from (ahem!) The Inquirer - Intel shows off 2 TFLOPS processor. Interesting quotes... QUOTE Now, here's the big kicker for this demo. Currently, this project is actually split in two: one project is currently integrating x86 cores into an massive 80-core monster, while another project is actually stacking of SRAM and DRAM memory on top of this Tera-Scale processing monster. When that happens, cache memory will have bandwidth measured in hundreds of gigabytes per second. Is this "integrating x86 cores" the "Larabee"? Wafer pictures here courtesy of (ahem!) The Inquirer - Future of CPU design pixellated. Seems that this 80-core beast has a name! QUOTE Numero Uno is Polaris, the 80-core concept. Numero Due is SRAM Cache memory, all neatly produced at the same wafer.  This post has been edited by lex: Jun 28 2007, 03:27 PM |
