Scientists squeeze more than 1,000 cores on to computer chipU. of Glasgow , Dec 29, 2010
from Glasgow University News: "Scientists at the University of Glasgow have created an ultra-fast 1,000-core computer processor.
The core is the part of a computer’s central processing unit (CPU) which reads and executes instructions. Originally, computers were developed with only one core processor but, today, processors with two, four or even sixteen cores are commonplace.
However, Dr Wim Vanderbauwhede and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Lowell have created a processor which effectively contains more than a thousand cores on a single chip."
