Intel unveils Puma, a powerful photonic chip
Intel introduced Puma, a prototype CPU based on a custom risk architecture. It features 8 cores and an eye-popping 528 total threads, setting it apart from modern X86 CPUs that usually have only 2 threads per core. While adding more threads individually weakens each thread, this CPU targets Patabyte scale workloads with its impressive 1TB per second of data throughput and optical interconnects between chips. These chips can be connected together in server sleds, allowing for high-performance computing at scale.
