The first encounter with the photograph of silicic plate, which contains larrabee video chip, confirmed that the core area of these chips will not exceed 300 sq. mm. However, later in the network appeared a clearer photograph , which allowed some to estimate the crystal area Of larrabee.
Associate note that the core area of these chips is within the limits of the expected values..
On the silicic plate with 300 mm diameter are placed approximately 86 chips larrabee, although some sources call another number - 64 piece.
One way or another, the core area of elder version larrabee in this case can reach 600 sq mm. Wolfdale processors with the core area 107 sq mm have 410 ml transistors. Almost six times larger chip can place about 2 billion transistors. It would be desirable to hope that this entire speed potential will be used effectively. As explained Intel representatives , series products larrabee will appear in the beginning of the following year. Related Products :
