Intel's Clearwater Forest could be shipping even sooner, 288 cores. https://chipsandcheese.com/p/intels-clearwater-forest-e-core...
It's a smaller denser core but still incredibly incredibly promising and so so neat.
I wonder what Ampere (mentioned in that article) is going to do. At this rate they’ll need to release a 1000 cpu chip just to be noticeably “different.”
Ah, I omitted to mention that with 256 cores, you get 512 threads.
Someone needs to try running Crysis on that bad boy using the D3D WARP software rasterizer. No GPU, just an army of CPU cores trying their best. For science.
