Intel 'terascale' 80 Core CPU!
It was not that long ago we had true dual-core CPU's and now we are up to quad-cores for sale today and now Intel next 80-Core CPU does not really seem that far fetched an idea anymore!
Intel's 80-core Teraflop CPU -ArsTechnica
Intel first described its 80-core "terascale" research chip at IDF this past September, and today they disclosed a bit more about the new design. The 4GHz chip consists of 80 small floating-point cores arranged in a 10x8 tile pattern and connected by an on-chip mesh network. All together, these cores are capable of delivering up to 1.28 TFlops of performance.
Moores Law just out having some fun I guess...
