Intel will introduce its architecture Poulson which will include eight cores in a processor Itanium. This will be the biggest chip firm with 3.1 billion transistors. It can handle twelve instructions simultaneously and in principle, companies should not need to recompile their software to take advantage of the new pipeline, but Intel admits to not having completed its test software.
The die has an area of 588 mm ². Engraved in 32nm, it marks an important break with Tukwila manufactured in 65 nm. Thus, despite a larger number of transistors Pulson is 20% smaller. Poulson caches totaling 54 MB, 32 MB cons for Tukwila. The new processor uses an interconnection Quick Path to 6.4 GT / s, against 4.8 GT / s for the old, but still compatible pine for pine.
This means he can use the same chipset as its predecessor. HP even announced to use the chip on SX3000 existing platforms. He will await the release of Kittson, the next Itanium architecture to make the transition. Intel Poulson will present more detail at the International Solid State Circuits Conference to be held this week.
