Default 80 Cores.

I found this awhile back. I hope that not everyone knows about this...

omg wow......only problem will be that pcs cost a furtune to build these days so i expect in 5 years time if this is released its going to set you back alot of money and most of us will not afford one the way its going.

I'd hate to see a CoreTemp or SpeedFan display for that

Ummm...not everything today can utilize all 4 cores. it's not a matter of a new CPU have so many, it has to do with whether or not programs can utilize so many. The noob has a point!

In this case, I don't think it's a matter of feasible=realistic, more than it is a 'look what we can do', ie: bragging rights for the most part.

I believe that this technology would benefit Servers, not for us daily use.

what I'm saying is that the way it's being developed probably gets around programs having to be coded for multi-core. it will most likely function as one core.
