TobyKY76 writes to tell us The Inquirer is reporting that upstart Azul Systems is planning to integrate 48 cores on their next generation chip. From the article: "The first-generation Vega processor it designed has 24 cores but the firm expects to double that level of integration in systems generally available next year with the Vega 2, built on TSMC's 90nm process and squeezing in 812 million transistors. The progress means that Azul's Compute Appliances will offer up to 768-way symmetric multiprocessing."

Slashdot gettin' slow? by otis+wildflower · 2006-03-28 11:07 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Is it just me or has /. really been behind the pace of news lately? I'm seeing links come up like hours or even days after I see 'em on theinquirer, arstechnica, macnn, etc...
