arcticstoat writes "Intel's Pat Gelsinger recently revealed that
Larrabee's 32 IA cores will in fact be based on Intel's ancient P54C
architecture, which was last seen in the original Pentium chips, such
as the Pentium 75, in the early 1990s. The chip will feature 32 of
these cores, which will each feature a 512-bit wide SIMD (single input,
multiple data) vector processing unit."
