1000 Core Processors From Intel

Chipmaker giant,Intel has planned a giant leap in computing world by bringing 1000 core processors to consumers which will be an unexpected jump in current scenario where 4 to 8 processors are being used.The collective ability is at an all time when such a number of processors are being used concurrently.

I don't think consumers right now don't need the power of 1000 core CPU's.In the Supercomputing Conference 2010,Intel researcher Timoth Mattson showed a demonstration of 48 core processor.the jump to 1000 cores would pose use problems to the developer than to the consumer.Windows 7 supports as many as 256 cores most modern software such as Adobe’s Creative Suite, Microsoft Office 2010, and new PC games -- typically support only four to eight cores.

Rightly most softwares don't work with many cores and a lot can't take advantage of more than 6 cores.A few years ago, leading processor makers Intel and AMD realized that boosting the sheer speed of individual CPUs beyond 4 gigahertz or so was becoming physically impossible, explained a PC magazine's laptop analyst.To run at those tremendous speeds, the chips spat out simply too much heat, and cooling them was a serious problem

If you follow Moore's Law, where CPU power per dollar doubles every 18 months, and you use quad-core CPUs as your starting point, you're looking at about 12 years before a 1,000-core CPU would be as affordable as a quad-core CPU today.
