February 13, 2007, Silicon Valley - Intel has announced another leap forward in the world of computing with their supercomputer on a chip. Intel’s new design provides 80 core calculating engines on a single slice of silicon, yielding about a trillion calculations per second, while consuming the energy equivalent of one light bulb. While still in the research phase, Valley developers are already dreaming of possible applications. Practical uses would be corporate data centers and traditional supercomputer applications. This power could also provide dramatic advances in AI and real-time speech recognition plus any number of yet to be dreamed of applications.
