Intel Chief Technology Officer Justin Rattner recently demoed the company's upcoming Clovertown quad-core processor, which will initially be seen in 2007 servers running two of the chips, for a total of eight cores under the hood. Rattner says the Clovertown architecture is scalable to 32 or more cores on a single chip, which should suffice until quantum computers finally go mainstream. According to Rattner, chips with hundreds of cores are theoretically possible with this technology.
