Default Computers with 80 Cores in 5 years?

"Intel has built a prototype of a processor with 80 cores that can perform a trillion floating-point operations per second."

yeah, all cores on a single chip!

"as envisioned by Intel's terascale research prototype, is to enable a trillion floating-point operations per second--a teraflop--on a single chip. Ten years ago, the ASCI Red supercomputer at Sandia National Laboratories became the first supercomputer to deliver 1 teraflop using 4,510 computing nodes"

I am going to love running Ableton 10 on that!

The battery would get brewer's droop on a laptop.

But 80 cores! f*k me!

then they'll probably have 100cores on one chip, then use dual-chips, then quad chips... then dual-layer quad chips, they quad-layer quad chips... hmm 1600 cores @ 3.16GHz each... 5 TeraHz! NOT FAST ENUFF MR. SPOCK, NEED MORE

Some interesting figures there....

But what sort of power consumption is it likely to take.....and how will it be cooled? Its going to cost alot of money....but this kind of power would be exciting for gamers and muscians alike.

PS - anyone here play Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour online? I do!

I play both Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory (a WW2 mmorpg using the Quake engine) and Trackmania Nations online. Both are free!
