Ho…ly…Fuck…Meet the KiloCore: A 1000-core Processor

You read that title right: The computer scientists at UC Davis have created the world’s first 1,000-core processor, called KiloCore. Containing 621 million transistors, the processor can handle 1.78 trillion instructions per second. Straight up, that’s ridiculous. In a good way, mind you.

Daydream-ready Virtual Reality on the Cheap: The ZTE Axon 7
