PC Perspective concludes their IDF coverage with an article that looks at Intel's 80-core terascale project, Intel Extreme Memory, the upcoming Core 2 Extreme QX9650 and mobile platforms as well.
The graphs below the die detail shots show the relationships that Intel's designers have created between power usage and peak performance numbers. Most interesting is the power that is required to run the chip - at only 0.95v the terascale processor generates only 62 watts of heat and is capable of 1 teraflop of pure horsepower. To get near the 2 teraflop levels the CPU is pushing 1.4v still a reasonable voltage by today's standards.
