Intel announces 'single-chip cloud computer'

摘要

Also on 8 February, Intel Corporation of the United States introduced its four-core "Itanium 9300" processor, which it says delivers more than double the performance of its predecessor, boosts scalability and adds reliability features.rnThe trend towards multi-core processors - and technologies to get the most work out of them at the lowest energy cost - was also illustrated in an earlier announcement by Intel. Its research laboratories demonstrated an experimental version of a new microchip that packs 48 separate processing cores onto what they call a "single-chip cloud computer" or SCC. It is said to offer about 10 to 20 times the processing power of the most popular processors produced by the company today.
