Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the 80-cores-and-nothing-on dept.

Vigile writes, "Intel is pushing the envelope with its latest vision — 80 cores on a single processor. Dubbed 'Terascale' computing, Intel aims to bring low-powered, massively interconnected cores and unleash a new era in data-mining, media creation, and entertainment." For balance, read Tom Yager over at InfoWorld imploring AMD to stop at 8 cores while everybody gets the architecture right.

    [A] teraflop is approximately 1000 Megaflops.

    640 cores should be enough for anyone.
