> I remember Linus playing around with a Xeon Phi CPU with a few hundred threads. The task manager was all percent signs.
The last Sun chips (Niagara / Ultrasparc Tx) also had pretty high count, IIRC they had 64 threads / socket, and were of course multi-socket systems. At 1.6GHz they were clocked pretty low for 2007 though.
