Knights Ferry: Intel Unveils New Server Chip With 32 Cores
Intel announced a new 32-core server chip based on a new high-performance computing server architecture that mixes general x86 cores with specialized cores for faster processing of highly parallel scientific and commercial applications.
The chip, called Knights Ferry, is Intel's fastest processor ever and delivers more than 500 gigaflops of performance, Kirk Skaugen, vice president and general manager of Intel's data center group said Monday in a speech at the International Supercomputing Conference in Hamburg, Germany, which was also webcast.
BAD HARDWARE: We hope Knights Ferry will not be a Ghost Town in the end , like Larrabee.
In that case, 64 cores Knights Corner - Single chip mesh computer in 22nm will start in 2011.
