Shanghai will be based on a 45nm process and will pack 512MB of L2 cache per core
holy hell!

Anyone notice that, if you roughly speak the 12-core code name with some heavy accenting, it sounds like 'many cores'?

So this is still the same architecture with a few tweaks here and there until the end of 2009, maybe as far as mid 2010? All this time Intel are ahead and also moving forward?

This seems like a strategy destined to fail on anything but heavily parallel tasks. So servers workloads should be OK at least, but I'm not hopeful for massively parallel desktop apps.

*sigh* so no real performance competition there then.

That's funny. There is an article in todays shortbread saying AMD has plans for an 8-core CPU. http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7...

Mmm... CPU rumors.

Hurry up with the HT3 on the servers already. We have quad socket machines at work that could use the boost.

Intel announced they will release a 14 1/2 core processor in 2010.
Expect AMD to soon announce their intention to release a 28 +1 core processor in 2012.
God I miss AMD bit slice engines. They were..hmmm, unique.

Core drool has commenced and we're still not seeing all of them light up under many situations. So many cores are still at the mercy of software and there are still few that eat them all.

With my MacPro, even HandBrake doesn't eat all eight up, all the time (Apple's consumer apps appear to use only four).
