Intel Builds the Fastest Chip Ever 


Capable of processing 1 trillion calculations a second, Intel's latest test chip, when used commercially, will revolutionize computing.

Computing took a leap forward when chipmakers started putting more than one core—or central brain—on a single chip. It was a way to make machines work harder even as they consumed less power. Just wait until a single chip can sport 80 cores.

The wait won't be long. Chipmaking giant Intel (INTC) on Feb. 11 said it has successfully produced just such a chip, the size of a fingernail, capable of processing a mind-boggling 1 trillion calculations a second. The chip, which Intel claims is the fastest ever made, could start being used commercially in "in five years, if not sooner," Intel Chief Technology Officer Justin Rattner says.


Looking forward to the launch of this chip!
