>From Slashdot I picked up on PCMag's http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2173203,00.asp which describes Tilera's 64-core processor. (Tilera is apparently an MIT spinoff.) They say their first customers are network swtiches and "CGI render farms". Each core has it's own tiny router, "iMesh". A price mentined is $435 ($7/core sounds nice, doesnn't it?) for quantity 10K, which makes me wonder if 100 sites could each take 100 chips from a collaboration (still too much for my budget). Booting Linux is mentioned but not specified, the article expresses some doubt that a full kernel is meant. Just a curiousity.
