Last week Intel showed off its eight-core V8 PC. This computer featured two quad-core Xeon processors. Here's a short snip: "When it comes to scaling performance, the name says it all: multicore. It can mean two, four or more cores. The path to more performance used to be deeper pipelines with cranked up clock rates, but the model now is to go wider with more cores. Each of these cores has better per-clock efficiency (instructions per clock, or IPC), so lower clock rates actually can yield better performance.."

basically the number of MHz is now being replaced by the number of cores it's funny because this looks like 'swarming' to some extent which nature knows already for millions of years actually^^ (think insects!) the army knows for some time and now enters civilian use |
