Intel has always astonished the world with its amazing innovative ideas. Now just after releasing the Quad Core in the market, which still hasn't reached its full swing. Intel comes up with experimental chips and other plans for next year (2010).
Intel has now experimented with a 48 core chip which has amazing computing abilities and with the utmost power efficiency gained till now. Intel believes that increase in the number of cores will improve the performance significantly. The new 48 Core chip was built with Intel's 45-nm manufacturing process. Each core in this chip is programmable and shares data over high speed on-chip network.
The chip has used the organizing technique of cloud data centers in the web for its core arrangement. And so the chip is also said to be "single-chip cloud computer". The high-speed network connecting cores in the experimental chip makes it possible for software to quickly pass information directly between cooperating cores in a matter of a few microseconds, reducing the need to access data in slower, off-chip system memory. Applications can also dynamically manage which cores are used for a given task at a given time, matching the performance and energy needs to the job.
The new chip's energy consumption is as little as 25 watts and 125 watts during its maximum performance. Which is pretty much the same as todays processors.
By 2010 Intel also plans to release a Six-Core processor codenamed Gulftown. It will be based on the 32nm Westmere Architecture.
Now with all these latest and powerfull processors it will be really a simple deal in the future to run laptops, computers and other main stream devices to run high end applications. This would also pave way for a dramatic evolution in the automotive industry and in the aerospace industry.
Do leave your Comments on " Isn't Intel moving a bit too fast in releasing newer processors even before stabilising with their already released processors ?"
