+monster+36-core+mainframe+module
ENTERPRISE VENDOR IBM is slowly lifting the veil on its latest
mainframe chip that will be detailed at the International Solid-State
Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco next month.
So far we know that the chip has six cores and that IBM mounts six of
those in a single package called a multi-chip module. Each module
thus comprises 36 cores. Add to this two dies with 384MB of embedded
DRAM. The chip is clocked at 5.5GHz and is fabbed in an advanced 32nm
process employing both silicon-on-insulator as well as high-K metal
gate semiconductor technology, according to the preliminary program
from ISSCC.
The chip goes into the latest z series Enterprise EC12 mainframe
systems that IBM announced last August.
