Intel's answer to CELL, Terrace Kale

Oooh... Teraflop of performance! Sounds like they're talking about ice-cream... "A big dollop of chocolate, a big dollop of strawberry"...
Teraflop is the new black.
Aaaanyway, definitely interesting chip if it's as good as it sounds.

Truely plaid.
Is this actually useful or are they just building it for the sake of it?
Light speed too slow? Yes! We're gonna have to go right to.......... LUDICROUS SPEED!
*gasp*
Yep, it's terascale, not terrace Kale.
...and I was thinking Intel's marketing department had developed a sense of humor...
Don't trust babelfish or you might end up with "place T Shaun 3".
If john carmack hates cell, well, I don't wanna know what he thinks of THIS!
The headache juggling 80 cores as opposed to just 8 will give him is sure to light up the entire texan night sky!

Well look on the bright side, if i had one of these on my PC, each core could have a process (i currently have 60 processes running on my PC and i'm not doing anything apart from downloading some stuff and posting here) and still have a couple left for anything! It's Microsoft's saviour! With this, they don't need to make their OS more streamlined efficient, they can just keep doing what they do best!
The question is, SP or DP?
If SP then its not all that impressive compared to Cell since I doubt its as versatile, it doesn't seem to have a general purpose core and its clearly at a very early prototype stage all for a mere 4 times the performance.
Of course if its DP and they paired half of these cores up with a core2 duo, then released it within a year, that would be impressive!

I definitely think that my dream machine would resemble something like that; 4 or 8 conroe or k8l type cores paired with a dozen or two niagaraII or terascale cores, add on a unified shader GPU and I'd be all set!
