HAHA, whatever happened to Intel pledges 80 cores in five years? (article from 2006) http://news.cnet.com/Intel-pledges-80-cores-in-five-years/2100-1006_3-6119618.html http://news.cnet.com/Intel-pledges-80-cores-in-five-years/21...
The Nvidia Tesla K20 has 2496 cores (I know that it is a GPU and not a CPU)
- compilercreator 14y agoWell, about the 80 core Intel chip, you may be interested in the Intel Xeon Phi that has about 60 cores.
- marshray 14y agoXeon Phi (nee Larrabee) looks interesting, but it's not a real product yet. I.e., you can't buy one for your desktop computer. As others have pointed out, with AMD Opterons you can stuff 64 cores on a server motherboard today.
- compilercreator 14y agoWell it is about to be available in about 2 months. From Intel: "The Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor 5110P is shipping today with general availability on Jan. 28 with recommended customer price of $2,649."
- larsberg 14y agoPeople started caring a lot about power and mobile, combined with AMD basically shooting themselves in the feet repeatedly in the server space. AMD has delivered a large number of cores (you can cheaply put 64 in a box), but even for embarrassingly parallel applications, you'll struggle to get the same performance as a modern 16 core (real cores; 32SMT threads) Intel box due to smaller FP pipeline, slower clock speeds, etc. (note: not speculation; we have both types of machines in our labs)
