Motherboard reports on a press release by the University of California Davis, where researchers designed a multiple instruction, multiple data (MIMD) microprocessor. Unlike a GPU, each core can run distinct instructions on distinct data.

According to the researchers the chip has a greater number of cores than any other "fabricated programmable many-core [chip]," exceeding the 336 cores of the Ambric Am2045, which was produced commercially.

IBM was commissioned to fabricate the processor in 32 nm partially depleted silicon-on-insulator (PD-SOI). It is claimed that the device can "process 115 billion instructions per second while dissipating only 1.3 watts." or, when operating at greater supply voltage and clock rate, "execute 1 trillion instructions/sec while dissipating 13.1 W."
