2 Cores Not Enough? How about 32?

In June I heard that Intel has a working sample of Kentsfield, it’s new quad-core processor. Kentsfield was just another bump in Intel’s product line as it simply combined two Conroe’s together just like the Pentium D (Presler) simple combined two Cedar Mill processors together. Now Intel has announced that they are aiming at having 32 cores on a single die in a similar fashion to how Conroe works. These 32 cores will all be interconnected with a shared 24 megabytes of L3 Cache. With the inclusion of 8 onboard memory controllers this processor will be a heavy hitter when it releases. Now let’s pray it doesn’t also require supercooling to run at any decent clockspeeds. For the entire read, check out Toms Hardware.
