Intel ’s next - genesis mainframe code - named Westmere - EX may admit more core than the ship’s company ’s current server chip , according to the title of a paper about the buffalo chip announced on Sunday .
Intel will present a paper , called “ Westmere - x : A 20 Thread Server CPU , ” at theHot Chips 22 group discussion , which will be held at Stanford University in Palo Alto , California between August 22 and 24 .
That tops the late senior high of 16 screw thread in a CPU reach by some Nehalem - EX CPUs with eight cores . Westmere - EX processors will deliver the goods Nehalem - EX , which are able to run two thread simultaneously per physical core .
Intel already offers chips based on the Westmere computer architecture for laptops , background and servers that can at the same time go two threads per gist . That ability to run 20 thread period to Westmere - EX central processor possibly admit up to 10 physical cores .
The ship’s company did not forthwith respond to request for comment .
The company in the past has say that Westmere - EX chips would admit more core and operate at faster speed than Nehalem - EX , though it has not bring home the bacon further detail .
Intel has pronounce that Westmere - EX will be targeted at host with four socket and higher . The splintering will be made using the 32 - nanometer fabrication physical process and are due for press release next year .
companionship blab out about the latest server chips at the conference also admit IBM and Advanced Micro Devices .
IBM will be talking about the next - generation “ organisation ezed microprocessor , ” harmonise to the cash advance agenda . AMD will be talking about the next - contemporaries high - end desktop and host computer architecture code - name Bulldozer and the Bobcat microarchitecture for thin - and - light laptop and other broken - office devices .
