Ever heard about 100 core processor? If you live this world then the answer would be a big NO. But now hold your breathe -- Tilera today announced the world's first 100-core processor in the form of TILE Gx. The newest Tilera processor family features four new processors from Tilera including the world's first 100-core processor: the TILE-Gx100. The TILE-Gx100 offers the highest performance of any microprocessor yet announced by a factor of four.

The TILE-Gx family - available with 16, 36, 64 and 100 cores - employs Tilera's unique architecture that scales well beyond the core count of traditional microprocessors.

Tilera's two-dimensional iMesh interconnect eliminates the need for an on-chip bus and its Dynamic Distributed Cache (DDC) system allows each cores' local cache to be shared coherently across the entire chip. These two key technologies enable the TILE Architecture performance to scale linearly with the number of cores on the chip - a feat that is currently unmatched.

Specification:

• 100 cores
• 1.25, 1.5GHz core frequency
• Two 8-lane, One 4-lane PCIe
• 4 DDR3 controllers
• 2133 MHz DDR3 frequency
