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:
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”

“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
