100 core: Possoni enough? The new processor Tilera
Meggiato Riccardo Di world, they learn in these hours are with us, Tilera, a start-up of the branch of technology, has developed a processor like this: the GX100.
In fact, this monster of power is the spearhead of a series of models, the GX-Tile is dedicated to the computer server, which must handle complex calculations on which the Web. Run search engines, to give an excellent example. At present, however, not alone: \u200b\u200bthe jewels of Tilera, in fact, used as co-processors in the classic, type x86, exponentially increasing the power. "You can use them in addition to others, but the intent is to have them operate independently," said Anant Argval, co-founder and CTO, in an interview with Good Gear Guide. The result reached by Tilera, moreover, gives a strong shock in a market dominated, of course, from giants AMD and Intel. So far, even in the market for server computers has proposed solutions to more than four or six cores. Intel is close to the release of Nehalem-EX, which has eight cores, while AMD will come with his neighbor at Magny Cours 12: great, but you want to put Tilera?
As a final pat on the shoulders of the two Goliaths of the market, Tilera-David also gives a nod to ecology, with much lower power consumption. The GX100 achieves a maximum power of 55 watts, but the 16-core model of the family GX does not exceed 5 watts. All right, then, even if some analyst does not foresee a rosy future for Tilera. Will Strauss of Forward Concepts, for example, argues that the mark Tilera is not yet well established in the market, and catching up with Intel and AMD has not been easy and fast. Perhaps it is also why the company Argval began focusing on a very special and need power like that of the networks. And who knows maybe in the near future there solace with home computers to 100 core: Can you imagine playing Modern Warfare 2? Online editing
