Hey guys, I was a amateur computer enthusiast for a while, recently I purchased some books and started laerning more. I've also did some research, and here's something cool I found. Intel plans to release a chip called Nehalem-EX which will have the following features:
-Up to 8 cores per processor
-Up to 16 threads per processor with Intel Hyper-threading
-Scalability up to eight sockets via Quick Path Interconnects and greater with third-party node controllers
-QuickPath Architecture with four high-bandwidth links
-24MB of shared cache
-Integrated memory controllers
-Intel Turbo Boost Technology
-Intel scalable memory buffer and scalable memory interconnects
-Up to 9x the memory bandwidth of previous generation
-Support for up to 16 memory slots per processor socket
-Advanced RAS capabilities including MCA Recovery
-2.3 billion transistors
The information above was taken from: Buckle Up, Intel Preps 8-Core Nehalem-EX Chips for March Launch - HotHardware
It's supposed ot be released sometime in 2011 I think, although I'm not completely sure. It'll probably cost a fortune but man would I love to have that.
