Re: "That's a heck of a lot less per core than P4 is doing" Really? How many cores do you think P4 has? EP

Fyo - Re: "If you could just stop and think about it for a moment... That's 115W for a 4-core processor. That's a heck of a lot less per core than P4 is doing." Maybe YOU should STOP and READ for a second. The IBM paper described a 2-Core processor cranking out 115 Watts at only 1.1 GHz !!! {============================} 15.2 POWER4 Physical Design 2:00 PM C. Anderson, J. Petrovich, J. Keaty, G. Nusbaum IBM, Austin, TX The 4 th -generation POWER processor chip contains 170M transistors and includes 2 microprocessor cores, shared L2, directory for an off-chip L3, and all logic needed to interconnect multiple chips to form an SMP. It is implemented in a 0.18µm SOI technology with 7 layers of Cu interconnect, functions in systems at 1.1 GHz, and dissipates 115W at 1.5V.. {================================} Intel's Pentium 4 dissipates about 55 watts at 1.5 GHz - which would be roughly the same power (WORST CASE) of 110 watts but at a far higher speed of 1.5 GHz.
