Tilera Shows Off Their 64-Core Processor

Forget those punk-ass dual and quad-core processors out there, Chipmaker Tilera has developed a 64-core processor.

That's right, a 64-core processor!!!! Now that's just sick!!!

It has a bandwidth of something like 32TB per second and has a unique "mesh" architecture which allows each core to be decentralized an able to communicate more freely with other cores on its grid. Tilera thinks that this could be the beginning of hundreds or even thousands of cores using their new system.

XtremeNotebooks New Xtreme 917V: Bad Ass!

For the quad-core lovers who need to take their gaming on the road, XtremeNotebooks has come out with a workhorse for you. Some how they've crammed a Core 2 quad into processor into a 2.35-inch thick enclosure for the Xtreme 917V, so the first thing I'm thinking is heat, and lots of it. But this baby has a a dedicated GPU cooling solution setup which should help with the load.

According to Engadget, "It has a 17-inch display, dual NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX GPUs, a dual-layer DVD writer, multicard reader, integrated webcam / speakers, up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, and room for three 250GB hard drives."

It also has optional TV tuner, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, and a plenty of ports to make your heart flutter. It only has a 12 cell battery, which only gives you a disappointing 1 hour of unconnected use. This behemoth comes in at 12 pounds and a starting price of $2,399, but I'm sure there are some ballers out there who aren't worried about that.
