How high can you go – Intel demonstrates a processor with 48 cores

Intel is working hard to push their terascale computer platform research to new limits. Recently Intel researchers demonstrated an experimental single die multi core platform, which allows them to run 48 cores under a single processor.
Inspite of having so many cores, the new “Single chip cloud computing platform” is suppose to consume same amount of power as todays mainstream CPUs. Intel plans to share the information and results with their partners in near future to carry forward the research to bring this technology to mainstream.

great. I wonder about the clock speed for such processors.. Once a uncle of my fren working in intel told me that they use to keep 16 times advance technology in their showcase. I heard that core2 duos were designed on late 1998. Good post thumbs up, and good to see you back though there is no response.
