Description: Following their march from standard processors to dual-core and quad-core designs in 2006, Intel Corp. researchers have built an 80-core chip that performs more than a trillion floating-point operations per second (TFLOPS) while using less electricity than a modern desktop PC chip. First described by Intel executives at a September trade show, the chip fits 80 cores onto a 275-square-millimeter, fingernail-size chip and draws only 62 watts of power -- less than many modern desktop chips.

AirHav0k ::: Favorites Please do not discuss the PS3 or Cell here, everybody knows my utter hatred towards that terrible CPU. Why the hell would Sony put a server processor in their box? 07-10-18 17:27:03 __________________________________________________
Kronikiz ::: Favorites LMAO, PS3 doesn't have that powerful a processor, it has about 10 cores, which total up to about 5GHz (5GB/s). This thing has 80 Teraflop (1TB/s) processors, in total 80TB/s, so it has about 2000 times the power of a fucking PS3 07-10-16 13:49:27 __________________________________________________
