A team of engineering students from the University of California-Davis has designed a 1,000-core processor with 621 million transistors and an ultimate throughput rate.
The "KiloCore,” presented at the 2016 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits in Honolulu on June 16, is said to be the most energy efficient many-core processor ever reported
...
The KiloCore chip has been fabricated and run—it was built by IBM using its 32-nm PD-SOI CMOS technology.
