Upgrade to Ternary Computing! I'm waiting for the 3rd gen, 27 core processor.
Actually, there's precedent: the Cell processor (PS3) has 9 cores (though one is redundant to increase yield).
- bensummers 17y agoIt's quite likely triple-core processors are quad-cores where one core failed testing, for the same yield reasons as the Cell.
- wmf 17y agoHence the rise of "overcoring", the process of re-enabling the fourth core.
