" With the multi-core era still in its youth with 'native' quad-cores yet to be released, Silicon Valley-based Tilera has announced a CPU that features 64 cores. Claimed to be 10 to 30 times faster than Intel's dual-core Xeon processors, the Tile64 is a RISC-based part that features cores clocked between 600MHz and 1GHz.
Aimed towards the networking segment, the Tile64 consists of 64 units that feature a CPU, cache and a switch which can communicate with four neighboring cores at speeds of up to 500 GB/s, bringing the total bandwidth of the chip to an impressive 32 TB/s.
In addition to the processing power the Tile64 also has a great power consumption that tops only 19.2 watts. The new 64-cored CPU is now available at a price tag of $435. "
