Multi core on K8!!

[Link]

That's right. Multi core CPU, though the two cores share the L2 cache and memory pathway.

Take a look!

Multi-core K8 !!

power4, and MAJC have claimed the same thing for awhile too Knowing that the K8 will have two cores on its die is old news, but I agree with your enthusiasm that its really, really cool. For more info about Power 4 and MAJC, check out

/me whaps BK with a working program...
Your dehanced cyrix powered brain can't multitask effiecently. Better finish up your programming and calc homework prior to posting on this BBS. Your pathetic L1 cache got overloaded trying to multitask between the forums and whatever you use to do C+ programming. Now you are in the L2 cache but unfortunatly that got overrun upon your room mate asking you a simple question, causing you to run into your ram, but it does not stop there... you attempting to sing along to the Jackson 5 song "Rockin Robin" and you ran out of ram so now your running off your bio-hard drive which is hella slow and horribly ineffiecient (proof is if you ever heard BK sing (no I have not I am just making this up as I go along (no I am not (yes I am)))). The only possible solutions include 1) hotswapping your brain with an intel model. 2) shutting off the record player that has the Jackson 5 singing "rockin robin" which means you can run off your ram rather than bio-hard drive 3) tell your room mate to be quiet so you can run out f L2 cache (this only works if you also did #2) 4) close the forums so you can run out of you 128 way associative 1 cycle delay hella-fast bio-L1 cache (this only works if you follow #1 and #2)

ROFL @ Possessed! : ) : ) : )

Don't anyone worry, Possessed isn't flaming BK, it is just an inside joke among the Anandtech distributed-computing teammates. ; ) Speaking of which, if anyone here wants to give something back to Anandtech, we have a blast over in the Distributed Computing Forum... come on over and post the dumbest newbie thread you like, and you'll get the friendliest responses of any area of the Forums.

Hope to see more of ya join up, Team Anandtech's RC5 crew hope to be #1 worldwide within a matter of 6 weeks or less, the SETI guys just jumped two places in the world club ranks, we need some help against Team Slashdot in the Optimal-Golumb-Ruler contest, and your CPU's idle time can help. Thanks for the consideration... : )
