Intel aiming for 80-processor chips

San Francisco (dpa) - Intel on Tuesday said it would start selling a computer chip with four processors in November, reclaiming the lead in chip development from its smaller rival Advanced Micro Devices.

Intel, the world's largest chipmaker also plans to manufacture chips with 80 processors on board within five years, Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini told several thousand attendees at the Intel Developer Forum.

Displaying an early prototype of the 80 processor chip Ottelini said the chips would be capable of exchanging data at a terabyte a second, and will be between 50 and 70 per cent faster that the current dual-core chips, Otellini said, according to the computer news website, Cnet.com.

Each core will run at over 3 gigahertz and could utilize the company's recent breakthrough in developing tiny silicon-based lasers.

Intel said its first quad-core processors would hit markets in November. They would be aimed at extreme gamers and high-end servers and would be followed by mainstream desktop models in the first quarter of next year.

"With this new set of dual and quad-core processors, we've regained our leadership," said Otellini who predicted that popularity of Internet video phenomenon such as YouTube, would drive demand for the powerful new processors.

I think that they're being a litle optimistic with the 80 processor cores in 5 years....but then again, you never know!
 
Think AMD is suppost to come out with quad core athlons too later on, with L1-L2 and L3. The L1 and L2 shared and L3 for each core
 
with faster chips, we can have better physics engines. when a game has a good physics engine, you start to feel like you are actually in the game because it seems so real. just imagine how realistic the gaming is going to feel in the near future....
 
i have a question??????its all good and dandy that they are gonna try to put 80+ cores on a processor but if you actually found a way to use that many cores wouldnt that put a shitload of stress on the mobo and the busses. i mean 80 cores trying to pump out all that data at the same time wouldnt that cause issues with the mobo and the bus. i mean it would have to right. there would be a huge increase in traffic. Granted im assuming mobos are gonna stay the same, which i know they are not, but wouldnt you need a crapload more traces in order to run that? I dont know, i just think its gonna be alot more complicated than intel putting 80 cores on a proc...its gotta be a bigger issue than just the processor. how is everything else gonna handle it. its gotta get way more complicated than it is now. i mean if a piece of hardware needs to talk to the proc how is it gonna know which core to send it too. idk my minds just racing. gonna go read somemore from my A+ cert book for class and try to get a better grasp on that and try to apply the concept to 80 cores. lol. things are getting much more complicated when i try to think of it as 80 lol idk im just going crazy lol

Notice how motherboards and chipsets and busses have changed since Pentium 100? Not a lot, but enough to support chips 300 times as fast with two cores, RAM that is multiples faster and larger, and HyperTransport and HyperThreading (two different but new, much faster technologies). I think mobos will keep up.
 
Newer Means Better

Yes prices will drop. The performance increases in programs was impressive on Anandtech.com's review. I would like to see some more game reviews of performance. So far most games just don't seem to take that much advantage of dual cores. But as newer ones come out I'm sure they will. :P
 
well i know mobos will pick up the pace but will they be able to keep up or will there be a huge bottle neck...if u made the jump from single to that u wouldnt notice the bottleneck but there would have to be unless mobo tech picked up tremendously. Mobos have always been behind processors. There was no way mobos could keep up with processors n thats where multipliers shined, made clock speeds go thru the roof...but what do u think there gonna do now?
 
Cant wait..itll be perfect timeing for me to build a new rig, and me likey to build new rig..mmmmmmmmmmmm, i can smell it already.
 
Extreme Tech just released an article on the Core 2 Extreme Quad, which is going to be released later this year, but its going to be an extremely expensive chip, over $1000. Intel says they will release mid-level ones later next year.
