The multiyear agreement is set to begin in 2014.</span></span><br /><div class="" id="" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.354em; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 6px; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As part of the sponsorship agreement, the 49ers will work with vendors to integrate Intel solutions and products for client, server, embedded and security technologies inside the stadium. In addition, Intel will have exclusive branding and naming rights to one of the most heavily used pedestrian areas at the northwest corner of the venue, currently referred to as the "Northwest Plaza." This area will be re-named the "Intel Plaza" and feature a fan experience zone where fans can connect and communicate using the latest products with Intel Inside.</span></div><div class="" id="" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.354em; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 6px; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The agreement also includes an integrated media package that includes radio and television advertising, various hospitality assets, and the opportunity to host events at Levi's(R) Stadium with customers and strategic partners throughout the year.</span></div><div class="" id="" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.354em; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 6px; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The new stadium, which lies just a few miles from Intel's headquarters at the Robert Noyce Building in the heart of Silicon Valley, is expected to be a showcase for technology.

Supercomputing : Intel unveils 72-core x86 Knights Landing CPU for exascale

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O4kStg5Iadw/Uph4ZQO-DlI/AAAAAAAAAMs/COtZ8ZtmZfE/s1600/Supercomputing++Intel+unveils+72-core+x86+Knights+Landing+CPU+for+exascale.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="414" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O4kStg5Iadw/Uph4ZQO-DlI/AAAAAAAAAMs/COtZ8ZtmZfE/s640/Supercomputing++Intel+unveils+72-core+x86+Knights+Landing+CPU+for+exascale.png" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="intelliTXT" name="intellitxt"></span></span><br />Intel has taken the wraps off Knights Landing, its next-gen, up-to-72-core Xeon Phi supercomputing chip. The main change is that Knights Landing will be a standalone processor, rather than a slot-in coprocessor that must be paired with standard Xeon CPU. Furthermore, Knights Landing will have up to 16GB of DRAM 3D stacked on-package, providing up to 500GB/sec of memory bandwidth (along with up to 384GB of DDR4-2400 mainboard memory). Knights Landing will debut in 2015 on Intel’s 14nm process, and with a promise of 3 teraflops (double precision) per socket it will almost certainly be used to build some monster 100+ petaflop x86 supercomputers, and beyond to exascale.<br />The current version of Xeon Phi (Knights Corner) is a PCIe expansion board with an up-to-61-core Intel MIC (Many Integrated Core) chip. These cores are based on the original P54C Pentium core — just like its stillborn Larrabee predecessor — but with a lot of modern additions, such as 64-bit support and 512-bit vector registers.<br /><br /> Knights Landing is a major revision of Knights Corner, making sweeping changes across almost the entirety of the platform. Gone are the P54C cores, replaced with up to 72 out-of-order <a href="http://www.extremetech.com/computing/155082-intels-silvermont-revealed-after-a-five-year-snooze-intel-is-finally-ready-to-crush-arm">Silvermont</a> (Atom) cores. These new cores will implement AVX-512 (AVX 3.1 instructions). Perhaps most importantly, though, Knights Landing will be a standalone CPU, with an integrated six-channel DDR4-2400 memory controller, up to 16GB of on-package 3D stacked RAM, and 36 PCIe 3.0 lanes.<br /><i>Source : <a href="http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/171678-intel-unveils-72-core-x86-knights-landing-cpu-for-exascale-supercomputing">ExtremeTech </a></i><br />
