Heh. 24 cores, 55mW. Performance numbers are farther on... 1GIPS/core, marketed at reasonable 18GIPS for a 24-core CPU. Still, they're pretty limited. It seems only the edge cores have access to I/O (if I'm reading the article correctly). Hm. .... SwiftX, easy thread creation, but cooperatively multitasking. Hm. I've never really like cooperative multitasking, although I keep meeting people who love it, and despise pre-emptive multitasking. Ah, well. -- How much memory could you fit on a Pentium III die?
