Intel tests chip design with 80-core processor



Uploaded by: computerworld
Video Description:
Following their march from standard processors to dual-core and quad-core designs in 2006, Intel Corp. researchers have built an 80-core chip that performs more than a trillion floating-point operations per second (TFLOPS) while using less electricity than a modern desktop PC chip.
First described by Intel executives at a September trade show, the chip fits 80 cores onto a 275-square-millimeter, fingernail-size chip and draws only 62 watts of power -- less than many modern desktop chips.

more cores = useless overkill - processors cant fetch data faster than the storage can give it, thats why they invented (scsi and ramdisks) you wont notice any difference between a celeron and a quad core in your rig. what determines speed is the hard drives
random write/read latencies
getting a fast ... ( 1 month ago by 8309400)
getting a fast processor only makes sense if you have a storage drive than can write and read under 1 milliseconds, if it can read fast but cant write under 1 milliseconds its still gonna be slow because data is always written to the virtual memory/pagefile and browser cache when browsing the web so its useless to get say an ssd than can only read fast and but cant write fast, its a waste of money for the synthetically fast cpu AND SSD drive

unless your reading from ram.
by the time we have those cpus, well probably have more ram being available on each mobo.
64bit operating systems can already use like 16 TB of ram, and with good timings and clocks, we can run everything on ram.
heres the catch ... ( 1 month ago by 8309400)
heres the catch though, even if you had 50 GB
of ram your data is still going to be written to the pagefile (virtual memory) because programs and data do not see ram as a destination area to execute themselves, for example battlefield 2 needs and takes 1.5GB of virtual memory space address even if you have 4 GB of ram, ram is just a data capacitor, virtual memory is a program execution destination. another example is vista, it uses 500MB of virtual memory even if you have 4GB of ram.
Small parts of data ... ( 1 month ago by 8309400)
Small parts of data just float around in ram to make 1st stage data accesses quicker, so even if you have 16GB of ram,data will not fill up and focus in the ram, it will direct itself into the pagefile destination anyways, so imo having anything more than the mainstream 2 GIGs of ram is overkill, unless you plan on making software ramdisks to put the IE browser cache or other stuff on there.
you could make a decent ramdisk with 8 GIGs
of accessible ram but if the OS cant see it u cant use it
There was once a ... ( 1 month ago by navy2kq)
There was once a project called ramhdd ... creating a virtual hdd in your ram and setting the paging on that virtual hdd might solve the problem even today.. you would need massively memory but then again... in the near future we will probably not have hdd's but flash modules plugged in the mb directly like ram is today :)
thats interesting i ... ( 1 month ago by 8309400)
thats interesting i didn't know that, id bet a bunch that project must have been scraped because companies profited off the HDD bottleneck with useless accelerators of all kinds, But hey on the bright side ultra low latency flash drives will finally put the fun back into computers ;-)

80 fp cores... that sucker can't execute a single x86 command. So when we will see a x86 with 80 cores @ 3ghz that can have a throughput of a total 2TFlops I will be impressed... untill then I admire HD 4870 x2 which can do 2.4 TF on a consumer card at a consumer price and in a chip that actually does much more then just fp's :) I know it's a GPU... but that 80 core isn't a cpu either... not even close...

hopefully with the 22nm process we won't need any hdds anylonger, so instead you'll have flash memory slots. Single layer chips should get more convenient to build... but we shall see...

Yeah good joke :))). Anyhow I think crysis loves the nvidia cards only because of the physics implementation... see ultra high resolution benches (where the hd4870 x2 takes the lead). We'll have physics implemented into ati chips soon too so expect a radical shift in performances even there :D. Just an opinion :D

The round wafer shape is a result of the silicon being refined, which is a complex high-temperature process performed in a large cyndrilical vessel. With current techniques it would impossible to create a square wafer (short of cutting one out of the circle wafer)

Actually it is. If you bothered to look up more info on it you would see that you can interchange the nodes for anythign. Its very modular. So you can have FPUs. CPUs, GPUs and anything else you want to mix into it.

They say they can do it I know read it they just never did prove it :) (that just can't count as flat fact) When I will see such a cpu then I will believe it untill now all I'm seeing is fps :) that's not enough and will never be... sorry
