While companies like AMD and Intel are trying to compress 3, 4 or even 6 cores in their processors, the chip maker American Tilera announced today that it plans to manufacture and sell a model with 100 cores called Tile-Gx. The main purpose of these processors, said Anant Agarwal, co-founder and CTO of the company, will be for use in servers that perform functions related to web such as search, indexing pages and video processing.
Agarwal also said that to run a rapid exchange of information, models of Tilera has organized parallel cores in a square, within which there are multiple points for input and output data. Since the chips from Intel and AMD have nuclei arranged as crossbars, a design that he says can bring problems of congestion.
Model Gx100, one of the processors with 100 cores will use a maximum of 55 watts of power and will cost up to £ 1710 when placed on the market in 2011. Before that, Intel plans to release for sale the CPU with Nehalem-EX 8-core and AMD expects to release the Opteron, with 12. Notice how neither of them has three digits in the decimal places.
