8 core CPU
 
http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/dis...017104313.html

Now that’s what I am talking about – bet it has a very nice price tag – HUMMM I wonder how they are cooling that thing?

Damn, so much for getting "smaller". :D Also note all the other article's linked at the bottom of that one. Looks like multiple cores maybe the wave of the future. AMD and Intel plan to release dual core CPU's in 2005. I wonder of they will put a heat spreader across both cores.... Will be interesting.... Also note it looks like Intel plans a 16 core CPU in the future! :drool: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/dis...901122232.html

I would love to have an integrated quad SMP machine ... especially considering that AMD is looking at an improved version of multithreading on each individual core. That means a two core system would have four or more virtual cores and a quaddy would have over eight virtual cores. Teh secksi.

I can’t help wonder what kind of heat sink would cool such a monster. :eek:

Well there is no specs on it. It might be able to be cooled passivly for all we know. One large heatsink across the CPU. I am sure they have something made for this.

It may then it may not, IBM is not a company that shy's away from liquid cooling.

I can see Texan geeks using this as a belt buckle. :D

from what i remember thats not a real chip lol, someone has glued it all together

i *think* that i read about this one on another forum a long time ago

Proves what I have been thinking for a while now.

The speed race has been won, they all know people arn't as impressesed with mhz as they used to be.2ghz is more than enough for anyone; but multi core 64 bit technology *drools*

Am i the only person who forsee's the trouble some poor fsker is going to get into trying to design a Jet Impingment system for that beast :D :D :D
