Re: 80 cores in 5 years, intel says
sonic, i dont know much about processors, but from what your saying intels duel and new quad core processors are not any faster at all than the single core ones unless you have programs that are specifically written to use all 4 cores? i really know nothing about them, but if thats the case why upgrade? -
Re: 80 cores in 5 years, intel says
For the same reason people have dual processor systems. A single processor can only do so much in a given time. Utilizing additional processors allows you to process more instructions in the same amount of time, even if the are the same speed as your single processor system. Right now I have 48 processes running on my… -
80 cores in 5 years, intel says
over one terabyte a second. the future is pretty cool. http://news.com.com/2100-1006_3-6119618.html?part=rss&tag=6119618&subj=news -

With all those cores I'd say the future is pretty hot. -

How long do you think before there are multi core GPUs? -
Re: 80 cores in 5 years, intel says
i'm not saying that faster processors aren't good. each of those cores is clocked at only like 3.2ghz. unless you somehow wrote a game or an application to use 80 (prob 160 with HT) threads (which no one will), it's completely useless. look how much trouble people are having with the ps3 and its 6 separate threads. servers… -

And all we need to power it are in-home nuclear plants. I say the future is in vacume tubes, buy stock now! -
