Researchers Create CPU With 1,000 Cores

[citation][nom]deadheadbob87[/nom]That's nice. Will it play Crysis?[/citation]
NO!
NOTHING CAN RUN CRYSIS! NOT NOW OR EVER SO STOP ASKING!

Totally SWEET!!

Will probably be about 15 years before these types of cores are mainstream. Still very interesting.

 

[DXRick]

If you SLI 500 GTX 580's with it, you could probably play 100 instances of Crysis at the same time!

Nice but creating many cores on a FPGA is not that hard. The real hard part of a so-many core system is the memory behind it: many small independent memories, a large one with caches (coherent or not), a mix of these, etc ...

Oddly enough Wayne Tech purchased a case of these and they were lost in shipping. In other news, Batman has not been Spotted in Weeks But cyber crime is down 90% for the month in Gotham.

Interesting research. Of course Apple could put a 1,000 core chip in a machine and this board would still bitch about them.

By the time Apple puts a 1000 cores in a computer, others will be shipping with 2000 cores at half the price. But hey, at least the case will be shiny.

By the time this kind of processor has become mainstream (if ever), Crysis will be one of the free games included with your pre-paid cell phone from the convenience store... along with a Tetris demo. You'll be able to run it while your phone is multi-tasking in the background.

1000 core cpu and only 4 to 8 is in working. another 986 core is in sunday mode.

 

[cold fire]

I don't want a 1000 cores I just want my i7 to run at 7GHz using the Intel stock cooler!!

 

[Zoidman]

Because no one has posted it yet... and it will undoubtedly be posted:

"...OVER 9000!"

But to the point, that is incredible, with that many cores its creeping on GPU territory. It would also be interesting to see a few 1k Core CPU's used to emulate parallel processing of a biological type (Like the human brain; a massively parallel processor)

and to all the crysis na-sayers, develop a sense of humor already, dang.

Will it play Metro 2033??

 

[deecrutch]

1,000 cores??? I have one question....how long before that thing becomes self-aware???

 

[Guest]

my harddrive was screw to death last night by my new 1000 core cpu.
1000 core cpu became self aware with a stupid ai.
input 1+1
answer: 2000

[citation][nom]dEAne[/nom]When that particular 1,000 cores arrived we will never talk about overclocking anymore.[/citation]

depends - because apps for it will use 1000 threads, that 1mhz more x 1000 will give a fair jump overall etc for what it is

it could emulate crysis...?

 

[youssef 2010]

[citation][nom]FloKid[/nom]Sounds like a job for Intel and AMD[/citation]

maybe over the next 30 years

Forget Crysis and try ray tracing man. If Crysis is slow on a machine like this. Kill the Engine programmer

 

[thomaseron]

"... their processing power is huge while their energy consumption is very small because they are so much quicker..."

Anyone else thinking of the upcoming Bulldozer?

 

[kewlx]

But can it play crysis 2?
