Chief Technical Officer Justin Rattner demonstrated the processor in San Francisco last week for a group of reporters, and the company will present a paper on the project during the International Solid State Circuits Conference in the city this week.
The chip is capable of producing 1 trillion floating-point operations per second, known as a teraflop. That's a level of performance that required 2,500 square feet of large computers a decade ago.

ASUS introduces dual processor netbook
ASUS has launched the Eee PC 1015PEM netbook with the latest Intel Atom N550 dual core processor. The processor provides the 1015PEM 23% faster clock speeds than single core processor netbooks. The 10.1-inch netbook features the ASUS-exclusive Super Hybrid Engine technology which delivers a battery life of up to 13 hours and a 250GB or 320GB hard drive.
Support for new energy Intel Core2 Duo Processor T9400
Phoenix Technologies has announced support for the new energy-efficient 45nm Intel Core2 Duo Processor T9400 optimized for embedded applications. Intel's new hafnium-based 45nm high-k silicon process technology enables even more processor performance by doubling transistor density and increasing cache size by up to 50%.
The Intel Core2 Duo processor T9400, validated with the Mobile Intel GM45 Express chip set, provides excellent processor and graphics performance, storage speed, system memory and reliability, making it ideal for a broad range of embedded applications.Intel profit beats expectations despite plunging sales
Intel has announced its latest financial results, beating market expectations and declaring the worst was over for the computing industry even as its first-quarter profit fell about 56 percent from a year earlier. Specifically, the world’s largest computer-chip maker saw a net profit of $647 million, down from $1.4 billion last year, while revenue dropped 26% to $7.1 billion.
Although netbooks are believed to be the one bright spot in the market, revenue from Atom processors and the chipsets that drive them was also down 27 percent sequentially, to $219 million. All these numbers are down a healthy amount when compared to other quarters, but Intel executives believe things could have been much worse if not for their operational efficiency and the fact that inventory was reduced 19 percent below fourth-quarter levels.

Intel shows off 80-core processor
Intel has built its 80-core processor as part of a research project, but don't expect it to boost your Doom score just yet. Chief Technical Officer Justin Rattner demonstrated the processor in San Francisco last week for a group of reporters, and the company will present a paper on the project during the International Solid State Circuits Conference in the city this week.

Intel meets its match in IBM
By the time Intel had introduced its latest processor for servers, the Itanium 9300, on Monday, IBM had already stolen Intel's thunder with its new Power7 chip technology, announced earlier in the morning.
And rightfully so: the Power7 is impressive. It has eight cores, while Intel's Itanium 9300 (PDF) has four. And each of the Power7's cores is capable of four threads, or tasks, compared to Itanium's two per core.
While Intel is talking about a 2x [two-times] performance boost per chip, IBM is talking about almost an 8x [eight-times]," said Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst at Insight64. "IBM has gone from two cores to eight cores per (chip). And each of the cores is roughly twice as fast as the [prior-generation] Power6," according to Brookwood, adding that IBM was already ahead of Intel to begin with.

The chip is capable of producing 1 trillion floating-point operations per second, known as a teraflop. That's a level of performance that required 2,500 square feet of large computers a decade ago.
Intel used 100 million transistors on the chip, which measures 275 millimeters squared. By comparison, its Core 2 Duo chip uses 291 million transistors and measures 143 millimeters squared. The chip was built using Intel's 65-nanometer manufacturing technology.
