At last Intel will sample samples of "48 Core CPU", the minimum power consumption will be 25 watts

As dual-core CPUs and quad-core CPUs are becoming more generalized, Intel recently became a new processor for serversUp to 8 cores CPU "Xeon 7500/6500" seriesWe announced it, but it became clear that we plan to sample 48 cores CPU, which is an overwhelming number of cores, six times that number.

How much does performance improve?

Details are as below.

According to this article, Intel is planning to ship 48 cores CPU experimentally to researchers around the end of the second quarter of this year in order to recreate the existing CPU.

The CPU of the 48 core model is scheduled to be sent mainly to academic institutions etc. According to Sean Koehl who works for Intel's laboratory, this CPU is part of research project and therefore develops for commercial use Although there is a possibility that it may not be possible, regarding the adopted function, it says that it will be installed in a new CPU that will appear in the future.

Although this CPU was developed background and operation speed, it was developed as part of research to introduce more cores to one CPU to increase the calculation speed in every device, even to automobiles and servers , The number of operation clocks will be equivalent to the new Atom processor operating at 1.66 GHz to 1.83 GHz.

And all the cores are equipped with an on-chip buffer that can exchange data in parallel, and it is thought that the cores will communicate with each other and operate, thereby leading to large-scale performance improvement. Moreover, since it is possible to change the number of cores used for processing as necessary, it is also possible to reduce power consumption to 25 watts (maximum 125 watts) in the case of light processing.

By the way, despite attempting to improve performance by continuing to raise the number of clocks of the single core processor, it is about the reason for shifting to multi-core routes, but if the number of clocks of the single core processor is increased too much, Because it had a problem of swelling and excessive heat generation, it seems that it shifted to a method of processing in parallel using multiple cores.
