A new report is suggesting that Intel’s latest project involves developing a 15-core Ivytown processor. The processor will ship first to customers in the enterprise market, with high end servers and the like apt to be first in line for the new platform.
Remember the peak of the megapixel war, where every single camera manufacturer was popping out a new point-and-shoot model with a slightly higher MP rating? It feels like we may be entering a similar leapfrog battle in the silicon world, as the race to produce chips with “more cores than the other guys” hits full stride. Though more cores generally make a meaningful difference in performance in multi-threaded workloads, more pixels don’t always result in higher quality imaging if optics aren’t up to par. At any rate, a new report suggests that Intel’s latest project internally involves a massively packed 15-core Ivytown chip.
