Intel Larrabee roadmap -- who says there ain't no Santa Cores?
Blog The 24 core variant may even be the 32 core version in disguise, as a way to ship useful parts when one or more cores don't work. Polaris is not x86, it's not going to be a product, it's a testbed and, aside from having lots of cores (80, as...

Two cores not enough? Then try 96
Talkback When 96 cores are built into one small chip, "gradual degradation" may don't work, especially in thermal failure. But certain kind of glitch could be prevented by this architecture. If the Beagle 2 had an Avebury on it, we could have another story.
