Intel is ready with its new high-end processor Corei9 codenamed gulftown to launch in first half of 2010 and it will have six cores!!!!. the mother board which it require would be able to accomdate two chips which makes a total of 12 cores!!!!. And with hyper threading technology the total amount of cores will 24!!!!!!!!. Do u realize whats intel gonna create. This means that if a proccesor run at 3 ghz its maximum capicity would be 3 * 24 ie 72 ghz!!!!!!!!!!!! i am even feeling mad writing this discussion. what do u think

This is nothing to what is come.. Intel Brains have designed 80 core processor..
The chip is capable of producing 1 trillion floating-point operations per second, known as a teraflop. That's a level of performance that required 2,500 square feet of large computers a decade ago.
A company called ClearSpeed has put 96 cores on a single chip. ClearSpeed's chips are used as co-processors with supercomputers that require a powerful chip for a very specific purpose.
Intel used 100 million transistors on the chip, which measures 275 millimeters squared. By comparison, its Core 2 Duo chip uses 291 million transistors and measures 143 millimeters squared. The chip was built using Intel's 65-nanometer manufacturing technology, but any likely product based on the design would probably use a future process based on smaller transistors. A chip the size of the current research chip is likely too large for cost-effective manufacturing.
The computing elements are very basic and do not use the x86 instruction set used by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices' chips, which means Windows Vista or 7 or any OS that exists till now can't be run on the research chip. Instead, the chip uses a VLIW (very long instruction word) architecture, a simpler approach to computing than the x86 instruction set.

Ayoosh16, i checked it on the internet ita true, what do u think would we be having a a PSC in the next decade. PSC, Personal Super Computer!
