If it's the number of cores that gets computers excited these days, then IBM may have its hands on the ultimate processor. Together with Rapport, a Silicon Valley startup, the company previewed the Kilocore1025, a processor with a total of 1025 cores that promises not only to boost processing speed but also to operate at low power levels.
Dual-core has become the standard in the microprocessor industry and manufacturers already have to dish out a quad-core announcement to create some waves. And while we already have heard that the next decade may bring processors with dozens or even hundreds of cores on one die, it is still science-fiction we are talking about.
