Prototype 80-core chip...

[b1gapl]

The prefix octo-, means eight. So what would be 80?

by big psu i meant a lot of watts not actually like size big. lol

mayube core 10 octo
10 x 8 = 80 makes sense to me.

Core 2 is the name of the architecture. And duo meant the number of cores. Plus Core 10 doesn't sound appealing...lol..

oi look i was tryin to fit in ok

ok fine wat bout core 2 deca-8

If you watch the second video, the guy shows a power cord and says they each supply 50 amps and there were 6 of them connected.

thats what it can give, in the end, it shows 72 watts at teraflop performance

Hmmmmm true. Whats the purpose of all of those then?

Dude this is interesting, I can't wait till they make them a realistic size for home computing.

Thats 2600 watts >.<

To determine the wattage you have to know the current and voltage. If the CPU really uses 300 amps, and it would require a voltage of 5, the power consumption would be 1500 watt. I think it will use much less. 1500w would probably melt the motherboard.

/\ Agreed.

depends on the motherboard. This CPU will obviously have one specially made for it.
