Larrabee Based On a Bundle of Old Pentium Chips
arcticstoat writes "Intel's Pat Gelsinger recently revealed that Larrabee's 32 IA cores will in fact be based on Intel's ancient P54C architecture, which was last seen in the original Pentium chips, such as the Pentium 75, in the early 1990s. The chip will feature 32 of these cores, which will each feature a 512-bit wide SIMD (single input, multiple data) vector processing unit."
Ah the dreams of the past, a beowulf cluster of old computers come to life :)
The card features one 150W power connector, as well as a 75W connector. Heise deduces that this results in a total power consumption of 300W,
Um, that just doesn't seem to quite add up to me.
Prediction: The real iPhone killer is going to be sex robots from Japan. Think about it.
It's one of the larger cities in Wyoming. Get with it. ;)

Only if you have a head cold.
One does not "shrink" a chip by taking photomasks and shrinkenating.
'course not. You use a transmogrifier. In the industry, it is known as the "Bill Watterson" process.
It can also be used to turn photomasks into elephants, which, while less profitable, is immensely entertaining if the operator didn't see you change the setting.

I do not like Microsoft. Remove them from my email address.
The three largest "Cities" are: Cheyenne -- 56k,
That's insane. I could get 56K people to yell at me to Turn That Shit Down by simply turning up my stereo and opening a window at 3am...
If a job's not worth doing, it's not worth doing right.
I#m very sceptic about Intes
Cool, proof of Dvorak keyboard use in the wild
