Intel showcases 80 core CPU

@ 2008/10/24

We were shocked to see Intel's 80 core CPU that was up and running at Gitex Dubai trade show. To make it more interesting, Intel was showing it off at the general public area outside of the tradeshow and we found about it by a chance.

First of all, this is not Larrabee we’ve asked and the engineer guarding this live demo with its life told us that this is a project that started even before Larrabee. This is a CPU of the future that features 80 small cores and this CPU can perform 1 Teraflops with these 80 cores with 78.35W and 3.13GHz clock speed.

I've got a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo that does it in 40 seconds (the short test) and it scores ~11 GFLOPS in LINPACK.

If you scale that to 1 TFLOP, you've got ~0,43 seconds. Well, let's say 1 second, since the 1TFLOP figure is a best-case.

I'd like to see a wprime on that
