Features
The processor consists of 80 individual cores on a single chip. The cores are different from the cores used in today's main stream dual or quad core processors in that they are much simpler in design. The same parts and ideas that went into constructing today's generation of processors were used in the new processor. These parts and ideas are simply reconstructed in a fashion which defines the new tera-scale era of processor architecture and allow for more than four cores to function on one chip.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
