Remember back when single core CPUs where king? Man those were the days. Now we've got hyper threading and dual core CPUs at the top of the stack. And for all purposes, a dual core CPU should be more than sufficient. But what if its not? What if you do DNA modeling simulations in your spare time. Well Azul Systems has just the chips for you.
Azul has plans to integrate 48 cores onto a single chip, expected out next year. The company currently has a 24 core chip out but expects to double that. With their new chip, Azul's computer appliance will be able to offer 768 way symmetric multiprocessing. Slick! You'll never play video games the same way again.
