That's what Intel promises to introduce a new microprocessor core 48. The focus is on cloud computing and data centers, with energy saving. The company says the new processor is designed to have high-speed and new techniques for power management, allowing operations to 25 watts or 125 watts.
"With such a processor, you can imagine a data center in the clouds for a future that is more energy efficient than today," said Chief Technology Officer of the company, Justin Rattner, told Computerworld.
The company's forecasts are optimistic. Intel said it is distributing 100 processors experimental 48-core to attract academics and specialists from other companies to develop the component and start the program compatible software.
"Over time, we hope that these advanced concepts are a way to come into popular devices, as well as advanced automotive technology found a way to get into all the cars," he predicts Rattner.
For nearly two years, Intel had shown an experimental chip with 80 cores that, although not functional, he served for the company to study ways to enable efficient communication between a large number of cores.
