wow, 48 full x86 cores!! and its codenamed Bangalore!!:hap2:



anyone know why exactly its codenamed bangalore, did it get designed or something here?

I think it was something to do with traffic in Bangalore. Intel wanted to show-off similar high-traffic of data between cores. Imagine 48 cores low-profile (atom) cores as Bangalorian auto-rickshaws and then imagine CPU interconnect as any signal in Bangalore.

haha..

yeah maybe, it is the reason they named it bangalore..

its successor wll be bangaluru..

Explosive charges in long pipes are also called Bangalore I remember using them in "Medal Of Honor".

The Bangalore torpedo was first devised by Captain McClintock, of the British Indian Army unit the Madras Sappers and Miners at Bangalore, India,

lol, that has to be it

then may be AMD will launch something code named

'hyderabad' with 100+ cores



even that would be not enough when compared to hyderabad traffic

Thats def. impressive but the issue is not core count but the achieved performance improvement. The improvement increase is exponentially decreasing as core count increases for general purpose computing( visible from 20+ cores) but its different for cloud computing. So well have to look at its performance, if intel has something special for it?



In the mean time check this out

This latest generation processor family features devices with 16 to 100 identical processor cores (tiles) interconnected with Tilera's iMeshâ„¢ on-chip network. Each tile consists of a complete, full featured processor as well as L1 & L2 cache and a non-blocking switch that connect the tiles into the mesh. As with all Tilera processors, each tile can independently run a full operating system, or, multiple tiles taken together can run a multiprocessing OS like SMP Linux.

Just imagine when each core is as powerful as a single Phenom II core or I7 core.

Then imagine the kind of power draw and heat dissipation requirements this 100-core monster will demand.... lifetime supply of LN2, anyone?

^^ Actually read the article in its current avatar is aims for the highest performance/watt metric solution

hmm...maybe they named it bangalore because it's too crowded in a very little space

Then will Intel/AMD Mumbai be 500+ Cores ?



LOL

bang galore is what they have combined for bangalore. :cool2:



So when you install that processor there will be a huge bang!! boom! in the psu followed by some fireworks sparking galore in the entire setup.



thus the codename itself warns the buyer

@Aces170: I know.... I was referring to Zopeon's comment on each core being of phenom-II or core-i7. Imagine 100s of core made of those.

Then imagine the kind of power draw and heat dissipation requirements this 100-core monster will demand.... lifetime supply of LN2, anyone?

Let me reframe/clarify it. I meant peformance of a single core on par with a single core of a quad core Phenom II or i7. Yes just putting it in existing form will require a power plant to power it with LN2 to cool it! but considering the trend of incrsd performance/watt. And adoption of parallel progrmng structure. Yes its alot of ifs n buts!

^ chillax dude... I know what you meant. I was just having fun.

Intel debuted and demonstrated its Single-chip Cloud Computer (SCC) processor Wednesday. The processor has 48 cores--24 dual-core "tiles"--connected with a high-speed mesh network. Intel wants the experimental chip, at least 100 of which it'll distribute to researchers in 2010, to lead to new attempts to tackle multicore system and software design. Ultimately, Intel believes its aggressive multicore approach will be the way computers get enough power for tasks such as vision and speech comparable to what humans have.
