Teraflops Research Chip

Polaris, also Teraflops Research Chip is a microprocessor for computers from Intel. It is manufactured in a 65 nm CMOS process, is 12.64 mm by 21.72 mm ( 274.5 mm ²) in size and contains 80 nuclei around 100 million transistors. The chip housing design in the LGA has 1248 pins, of which 343 are signal pins.

The clock frequency is 3.16 GHz and the processor thus reached 1.01 TFLOPS with an electrical power of 62 W. At a clock frequency of 5.7 GHz, the power increases to 265 W at 1.81 TFLOPS.
