The 48-core processor, built on a mesh architecture, could lead to a massive performance boost when all the chips communicate with each other, Anderson said. Anderson and Intel are just blowing smoke here. Been in embedded computing for many years, and have designed dual-core CPUs on FPGAs myself. I can tell you that software algorithms for spreading general-purpose tasks among 48 cores DOES NOT EXIST. You can divide up easily partitionable tasks, such as shading or rendering, but general-purpose computing tasks? No.

Without AMD’s Hypertransport technology Intel has to rely on software solutions to network cores. Gluing cores together is just not the same as daisy-chaining.
