  Intel To Ship 48-Core Test Sytems To Researchers

  MojoKid writes "Just when you thought your 6-core chip was the fastest processor on the planet, Intel announces plans to ship systems equipped with an experimental 48-core CPU to a handful of lucky researchers sometime by the end of the second quarter. The 48 cores are arranged with multiple connect points in a serial mesh network to transfer data between cores.

According to Sean Koehl, technology evangelist with Intel Labs, the chip only draws between 25 and 125 Watts."
