Intel's Ivy Bridge CPU Launch Slips to March 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Power users were hoping to get their hands on Intel's Ivy Bridge silicon by the end of the year, the time frame the Santa Clara chip maker originally gave for the successor to its existing Sandy Bridge CPUs. Now we're hearing that users will have to wait until March 2012 in order to give notebook vendors more time to sell their existing Sandy Bridge systems.

Tilera takes aim at Intel and AMD with 100-core chip
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelAMD
Tilera on Tuesday announced a new general-purpose CPU with 100 processing cores, which the company hopes will provide headway into a server market dominated by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices.
The low-power 100-core TileGX-3100 chip was co-developed with "leading cloud companies" with the aim of installing it in servers that run database applications and handle large volumes of Internet transactions, the company said. A Tilera spokeswoman declined to name the cloud companies that helped co-develop the chip, saying announcements would be made over time.

Intel Has a 50-Core, Supercomputer-Ready Processor on the Way
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Intel's Larrabee may have been a disaster, but that doesn't mean all that research was for naught. It's now surfaced in their upcoming, 50-core Knights Corner supercomputing processor, which will soon be commercially available.
Ars Technica says that it will compete with NVIDIA's Tesla Supercomputer processor, but will aim for ease of implementation, rather than raw performance power.
The main advantage that Intel touts vs. Tesla is that because MIC is just a bunch of x86 cores, it's easy for users to port their existing toolchains to it. (When using Tesla, researchers must port to NVIDIA's proprietary but well-loved CUDA platform.)
Granted, the vast majority of us will never see, let alone ...

Intel Core i7-980 Hits Stores on June 26
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelCore I7-980X Extreme Edition
Intel's newest socket LGA1366 processor, the Core i7-980, will reach stores by June 26. The i7-980 (BX80613I7980), is a non-XE variant of Core i7-980X Extreme Edition, it has its BClk multiplier locked at 25.0x. The six-core chip features a nominal clock speed of 3.33 GHz, which can jump to 3.60 GHz with Turbo Boost technology. Unlike with the Extreme edition, the i7-980 uses 4.8 GT/s QPI speed. With HyperThreading technology enabled, the chip provides the operating system with 12 logical CPUs to deal with. The chip features 256 KB of dedicated L2 cache per core, and a shared 12 MB L3 cache. It holds a massive triple-channel DDR3 memory controller. The Core i7-980 is expected to be priced at...

Intel plans exascale computing by 2018, wants to make petaflops passé
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Sure, Fujitsu has a right to be proud of its K supercomputer -- performing over 8 petaflops with just under 70,000 Venus CPUs is nothing to sneeze at. Intel isn't giving up its status as the supercomputing CPU king, however, as it plans to bring exascale computing to the world by the end of this decade. Such a machine could do one million trillion calculations per second, and Intel plans to make it happen with its Many Integrated Core Architecture (MIC). The first CPUs designed with MIC, codenamed Knights Corner, are built on a 22nm process that utilizes the company's 3D Tri-Gate transistors and packs over 50 cores per chip. These CPUs are designed for parallel processing applications, simil...

Apple, Intel locked in as bidders for Nortel patents
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleIntel
Both Apple and Intel have been cleared to bid in Nortel's vital wireless patent auction, contacts slipped out on Friday. After investigations, both have been allowed to go ahead. Ericsson had also been greenlit, according to the Wall Street Journal, and was being accompanied by RPX, a proxy company that buys patents to avoid them being used against its clients.
Google had already been approved and is considered the baseline at $900 million. It serves as a "stalking horse" meant to deter patent trolls as well as low bids from companies that might buy in solely to sue Android developers, such as Microsoft.
