The fastest computer chip in the world will set to make major breakthroughs in the PC world.
PC World said that Intel’s Xeon Phi chip, which goes under the code name Knights Landing, is a springboard for new memory, input/output and storage technologies that would reportedly astound desktop and laptops in the next few years. Expected to debut in supercomputers next year, the US Department of Energy was quoted as saying that the chip will be used in its 9,300-core supercomputer named Cori, which will be deployed in the second half of 2016 at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center located in California.
The older version of Xeon Phi chips are used in the current fastest supercomputer in the world, Tianhe-2, which is installed in mainland China, CIO reported. The older version, which is code-named Knights Corner at 61 cores, will be succeeded by Knights Landing at 72 cores. Moreover, the chip has been compared to have the same performance range as of some graphics chips used in the fastest supercomputers in the world today.
