Where Are Those 26 Core CPU's?

[ScottMC7000]

Dualcore CPU's first came out in around 2006 but it's been some 13 years now since then, so doing some simple math, we arrive at 26 cores and if that was the case, we would have 52 when you add on the virtual cores...

So what's happened...?

It would make my 3D animation jobs a lot faster...that's for sure...Still on a 4 Core 8 thread system here. I'm dreading the render time of the 3D city fly over I'm doing.

Have you been asleep since August?

Over £1600 for a CPU, isn't exactly your consumer friendly price when you look at it though....I'm sure even dualcore chips didn't cost that much. I7 920 chips retailed for a around £200 back in 2009.

how? 2 > 4 > 8 > 16 > 32 > ect...
or do you mean 2 > 4 > 6 > 8 > 10 > ect... (do we have 10, 12 or 14 core cpu's?)

It was a calculation of years.

As for your question, yes
