It's not quite 960 cores. There are 960 main ALUs across the system, but they're 8-way per item you'd maybe call a core (the stream multiprocessor) and run the same program instruction per clock. There are multiple partitions to execution on top of that, too: 3 cores share a memory space, 10 to a chip, each chip with access to board memory, three chips in the complete Tesla system. Those 960 ALUs are just the main FP32 and INT32 hardware, too. There are others (FP32 MUL and special function units, and an FP64 ALU too, per core).
